Are you going to claim your bungalow? There's a very good pub near by.

It's always an option on retirement .Freemans holt Aylestone ?
I had to be talked into becoming a Freeman as I wasn't bothered but my mum wanted it carried on after my Dad died and I didn't realise all the possible benefits

My brother-in-law's father was a Sicilian mafia Don - does that count?

Not getting that one, my wife's late brother was my brother-in-law. He was married to a girl with Irish parents, my parents are not Irish though.

Yes I was thinking about the Holt.

I work for an American company, my boss recruited me partly because he wanted a Brit in the role. Talking to him, I think he's convinced himself that I'm a lord, or else a spy, or something like that anyway. They love that sh*t, I can thank Hollywood and Alan Rickman for that I guess.

When I worked in the States I found most Americans very well disposed towards the English, and slightly in awe. They seem to think all English are slightly scheming and villainous, and in the line of work I was in I was happy to let people think I was a bit 'do not cross'.

Do you have a connection with the Freeman ? . Most people are unaware about the housing at Freeman's holt

Thr knowledge comes from geograhical proximity, nothing more.

Yes, I'm getting that too, and I think we've followed quite similar lines of work in our careers.

I was a bodyguard/driver. Took a 6 month career break following my divorce and went to stay with my Aunt in Pennsylvania. Used to escort midwives in and out of some of the deprived ghetto areas of Philly that made Moss Side look like Knightsbridge.

Any royalty, nobility or titled folk on here? I'm thinking of becoming a Lord or some such for a laugh.

No. And I would have all such titles banned. There would be no Dr. Prof. Mr. Mrs. Ms. Master, Lord. Lady, Baroness, Sir... That way nobody would be able to lord themselves over anybody else. Also, I would make it law that all the s's were banned, such as actress, waitress, etc. Its stupid.

My dad was the milkman, though the registrar was very nice no wrote "milk rounds man" on my birth certificate to make it sound posher.

 

[Sara_H]

When you say "the milkman" do you mean the family's milkman?

Well, yes. He was married to my mother though, so all above board.

Dr. could be retained, for doctors.

Nope, sorry; not allowed. No point other than to show off.
