The week we became engaged, we opened our first joint account and although we now have more than one account, everything is still in joint names, except of course, PB's as they have to be wholly owned by one person.

That’s what I call a “ marriage “ thanks for sharing LD ,it made my day....

No. It's just that the gardener, chauffeur and the butler keep asking for a pay rise.

Personally, I think that 3s6d is more than adequate for a day rate, but they each want an extra farthing per week.

Did try to dunk the gardener into the pond, but he got his head stuck in the bullrush.

Honestly, you'd think they'd be happy. I let them have some of the scraps from the veg patch at a discounted price, as well as them paying cheaper rent for their bedding in the hut until the roof gets fixed, but they keep on whinging.

Just can't get decent staff nowadays.
