I'm sure I recognise you from the school run. Are you Bertie's mum?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 21/09/2024 00:06

Still quite a few colonies unaccounted for.
I think you look about 19.
Can I have Grenada please ma'am?

MrsSkylerWhite · 21/09/2024 00:09

Don’t know but QEII looked very much like you, especially the eyes.

I second that! Some genuine wit for a change.

Stunning as always, that formaldehyde works wonders for the skin, you should start a beauty line, very profitable these days. But tell me, you didn’t really have anything to do with Albert Victor’s sudden demise? Hadn’t really had your eye on George all along, it was all a bit hasty you minx.
And what was it George had about Bognor to make such a remark on his death bed?

I am, dear! Bertie - what a sweet child. How unlike his brother David, always hanging round with those nasty boys. He never listens to me of course. Is your child Elizabeth? Such a delightful girl and quite down to earth.

You may have the Governorship of Grenada! Do enjoy. I've never been, I've heard it's charming, although one has to wear smoked glasses because of the bright sunlight. Imagine that!

You know what men are like, dear, you try to chivy them on and they just get cantankerous! Bognor is perfectly charming but my dear George loved alliteration. Fortunately the opium and brandy helped him.
That influenza epidemic - what a dreadful thing. I only had the mild sniffles but poor Albert Victor succumbed, as you know. I had heard from Lady Abermarle to have the windows wide open, so directed the servants. Never mind. One lives and learns. My dear George was far more of a home body and loved his stamp collection. I thought - there's a steady chap.

A natural beauty. Of course. Her eyebrows were real, too!

Why , thank you! A life well lived, dear. Good posture, walks in the rain, porridge for breakfast, public service, supporting the work of the HM the King and cider at gigs.

You are so correct. How sad that people are "haters" as you so wisely call them! I love the "z"! What narrow lives. Our dear cousin Hildebrand gets quite vexacious over the card games at Sandringham and I'm sorry to say that her attitude is aging. One game of gin rummy and she gets a face like the last apple in the barrow. Mind you, she's 103 and Friedrich ran off with the Second Footman, but that's a whole other story.

Dear MNHQ have been most apologetic. They will reinstate.
They have an over active spam filter. Poor dears.
I once had spam at Prince Leopold's funeral, which was an experience, they had to cut corners because of the all the horse racing debt, you know how it is. Although to be fair, the suet pudding was a treat.

You need to stop fixating on your appearance, put the looking glass down, and sort out your kids - they are a bloody mess and the village simply cannot help you this time. Who do you think you are, a Kardashian?

Wise words about the looking glass, my dear. However, it's incumbent upon us to care for our looks, would you not agree? So much sage advice from posters on here.
Do tell Nanny about any bother with the children. I dislike badly behaved offspring.
