I worked as a butler
in a stately home for a few years. It's not a bad life, really; once you accept that you must obey at all times the Lord of the Manor, it's OK. You can get away with a lot behind the scenes - drinking, sex, drugs - the Lord of the Manor knows and accept this, as long as it remains behind the scenes it's OK, yeah we've all seen Upstairs Downton Abbey but it's all true.

The one problem was with the food allocations to all of us in service. Butlers were given a generous allowance for meals, but maids were only alloted 50% of this!

Maids' meal half.

Bloody shocking.

The first and hopefully last pun.

Bloody good effort though.

Bravo Zulu.

Oh, it's a pun!
I thought it was just a pointless story.
