Yes, barbarian, it was a sudden flash of imagining on my part - how you'd get aristocratic brains and wot not off aristocratic flagstones. Yuck. And, as I said before, poor dear Nige. (I did like him, sob, and I do know it's a story, just). Also, my observation from living in rural area myself is that there is a business idea for everything. Some of them might not last very long. Possibly hosing down aristo flagstones (for whatever reason) must be one of the lowest demand occupations ever? but, at times, a useful service nonetheless. Oh dear, I wanna watch a film and DH is asleep lying out on the sofa in front of the screen. aargh. dilemma. I may have to go to bed and read my book instead.
