Personal Services required...

Here we go again...
yes a wife is just for managing the house and bedroom activities

[expatinscotland]

I thought Tom was a price twat and a really poor example of a parent, tbh.

He was too busy trying to be their pal to see parent properly.

No wonder his wife left the lot of them to it!

The girls were spoilt brats with an over-inflated sense of their own importance, something that never serves one well in adulthood, hence, it's important as a parent to let kids know this as they enter adulthood.

Plus, supplying booze for underage teens and then getting miffed at the hired help when it all went tits up?

Sorry, but, that's illegal for very good reasons. I'd have walked out because Al could have been arrested for such an offense.

I hope someone called Social Services on them, because all three of them could use a swift kick of reality up the jacksie.

I was intrigued by Patricia.
Overall I admired all three for having the courage to walk into such a strange and stressful situation.Poor Patricia looked as though she should have been the Queen Mums Lady in Waiting and she is still waiting for the ideal job.Seemed very severe and a cut above to be working at all -so admire her courage.Have you ever worked with women like that? I worked with a woman like that and she used to refer to stars by their abbreviated names,as if she was personal friend.eg Johnny Mills for John Mills. !

Al was a bit of a twat tho no? All that "you're not talking to your Dad, you're talking to Al now" to the teenagers? He thought he was down wid da kids a little too much for me.

Did anyone else think that Patricia looked like Kristen Scott Thomas will in 30 years? Poor lamb, she wasn't bitter about the fact her German aristo married another woman was she? Much.

[time4me]

Al was great and I couldnt understand why he wasnt snapped up.Agree with expat about the horrid staff me lady had.I`ve worked with a few,bitter,resentful ......yeuch

[expatinscotland]

They were pathetic. And he was even worse.

[TwoIfBySea]

The dry boak - hehe.

Those two girls styled themselves on the Geldofs or something. Right little mares.

[expatinscotland]

I'd have been as pissed off as Al, because they did really waste his time.

[southeastastra]

so true! al was right, there is no job

[expatinscotland]

She is utterly barking. I mean, she's been looking for the 'ideal' person for 10 years?!

And she has Eastern Europeans on staff, so what is the big deal about the man being from Southern England?

Tom just reminds me of the bloke from the first show, but with two wee cows for children.

He's the dry boak.

[southeastastra]

she's crackers isn't she.

[expatinscotland]

She turns him down because he's a SOUTHERNER!?

OMG, how shocking.

[expatinscotland]

Tom is absolutely dire!

Still don't see why he has an au pair. He doesn't need one.

And he's disgusting.

[southeastastra]

lady swinton needs to cut down on her dinners. she's obsessed with them

[expatinscotland]

WHERE do they find these people?

OMG!

Tom is just shocking. He is nouveau and it shows.

Lady Swinton is just living on another planet.

[expatinscotland]

I can't wait to see that!

I cannot believe Tom's attitude towards those girls.

'Skins' is a TV show, ffs.

Thomas should be thrown in jail.

[southeastastra]

i loved the comment patricia gave to them at the end about the higher the class the less they eat

[expatinscotland]

His daughters are little bitches.

If my girls turned out like that, I wouldn't leave. I'd boot their lazy book arses out to go and smoke in their rooms on their own bloody quid.

[southeastastra]

they're all a bit odd aren't they, lights are on but nobody home

[expatinscotland]

This white-haired man wants a '5ft., 2in., brunette, good looking'.

WTF?!

[expatinscotland]

I am flabbergasted at Lady Swinton's staff.

They are awful.

[TurkeyLurkey]

I thought Al did a good job of handling that party. White hair man has looked a gift horse in the mouth there. I wonder how long after making the program it took his daughters to do a swift u turn and beg him to re-advertise! Lazy sods.

[expatinscotland]

I think Patricia would be better suited to Lady Swinton.

[TwoIfBySea]

That Lady had staff with terrible attitudes, very jobsworthy, especially the older one with bad hair.

I liked that when asked about days off she said "if you want one" and that her staff "save them up." Says all you need to know about her!

[southeastastra]

those teenagers were really stuck up, awful spoilt brats.

was laughing at the north/south comment. odd.

i liked al alot

[expatinscotland]

His daughters are brats.
