I hear it is very racey!

So perhaps a Sportive?

You live less than 2 minutes from a pub Mort?

Racey ? Downton ?

just to get things back on track, you all know I'm referring to the new series of Downton Abbey

apart from those who contributed years ago on the thread about not having a tv license or indeed owning a TV

Didn't know it was starting again - excellent news.

I avoided it for years until the Christmas episode when I passed by a TV that had it on and before I knew it I'd ordered every series.

So yes - I'm looking forward to it

They really ought to give the nasty footman a twirly waxed moustache, and the accomplice maid an evil cackle, to give the whole thing more realism....

Lady Sybil is quite nice.

My Mum lives in Downton, near Salisbury. It has a food packing plant where all the home-cooked pub food is manufactured.

[QUOTE 2036305, member: 45"]It wouldn't take much to give it more realism. At the moment it's a jolly old jape, representing a world that never was, but living off the fake nostalgia that everyone is falling for.

You mean you don't? Next you'll be telling me you don't have cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off!

 

[Andy_R]

You cut the crusts off your cucumbers???? Talk about posh..........

 

[RaRa]

And don't forget the lashings of ginger beer

Racey ? Downton ?

I lead a quiet and respectable life!
