Ah it’s good to see that even in these days of chavs and ASBOs that people know their place and don’t hesitate to ensure the comfort of their betters.... I don’t think anything else newsworthy happened today.....
The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Minor royal given due deference and new heels
On an official engagement to open the first phase of Timpson’s (a chain of shoe repairers) refurbished training centre in Greater Manchester, Sophie, the Countess of Wessex remarked on the sorry state of her Laura B high heels. Stopping onlyto touch their forelocks (LOCKS!) the cobblers did not tarry to fix them on the spot. According to the Times the Countess was even provided with a carrier bag to stand on while a cheery proletarian repaired the heel on each shoe.

The royals aren't so bad at least they're just idiots rather unbearable wankers like our politicians.
True, they could be a lot worse
count your blessings- you could be saddled with the bush clan :)
Gosh is money tight even with the royals?
Put it that way Betmo!
Well look after the pennies jmb!
Every girl wants to be a princess [or at least treated as one].
but sadly she only got as far as Countess, shame!
Not being from the U.K., I can't
really judge the royals, but I
do remember a famous line, "Let
them eat cake!" I do not suffer
snobs very well...I don't care
what country they hail from!
~~~Blessings~~~
p.s. I love the term "wanker"
It says so very much with such few
letters!
We could do a lot wiorse than the Queen for a head of state. I'm not a fan of snobbery either Grace.
Wanker is a great word!
