I don't think many households have either around long enough to find that out.

My Ben has furry feet too!
I'll be doing that tomorrow for outdoor ed. A coastal walk near Porthcawl.
What a lot of hobbits today!
What's the weather forecast?
Dry and sunny but only max temp of 13'C.
Should be nice autumn walk.
And cooking sausages en route!!
The Duke of Devonshire, i think it was, had a visit during World War II from the Ministry of Labour checking on everybody who had a big estate to see if anybody could be released for the war effort. They went to Chatsworth with a stopwatch and a clipboard and checked everybody and eventually had an interview with the Duke and said ;
" Well your Grace, we can understand you need 47 gardeners and 13 under gardeners and that you need grooms and you need chauffeurs and you need upstairs maids and downstairs maids and in-between maids and laundry room maids and still room maids and kitchen maids and nurse maids and house maids and parlour maids and we can understand you need the boy to scrape the mud off the boots and you need the butler and the four footmen and the under-butler, but we wonder if a minor economy might be made? Does your Grace necessarily need two pastry cooks ?"
To which the Duke replied,"Oh, dammit, can't a man have a biscuit ?"
" i mean we're all prepared to make sacrifices to beat the Hun, but I mean, reaallllyyy!!!!!"

Peter Ustinov always said he went to a school that was so posh, that on school sports day, they had a chauffeurs' race.
Night, Lyn.
The Cold Dark Room is about to reach another milestone or two.
Sleep well and have a good outing tomorrow.
Make sure you wrap up warm, you won't be completely recovered yet!
I will, its not as strenuous as the bike riding we had planned.
Thankfully we didn't have enough trikes available to do that.
See you soon
Nos da!
Diolch!
