Are you in touch with UK prices?
A very short quiz (just 7 questions) about the cost of living in the UK. How up to date are you on costs?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12974903 I appear to be rather out of touch with these day to day items with a lousy 2/7 and the comment 'Butler do your shopping?' :o :lol: |

I apparently get the butler to do mine too - 3/10

Re: Are you in touch with UK prices?
Another Butler here - bit offended by that, but then again, it's been 18 years since I spent any considerable time in Blighty

Would it have been better if it said 'Maid do your shopping?' ;)

Re: Are you in touch with UK prices?
well, even I got 3/7 and I'm pretty in touch with what things cost over there (besides, who buys stamps nowadays - especially individually?!)...

Re: Are you in touch with UK prices?
2/7. Got off to a flier with the first two correct, then rapidly downhill from there....
Guess I'm in for a shock then tomorrow - touch down in Blighty for a short two week break.Inshallah. |

I was just wondering..why don't you agree with having a maid? I don't see anything wrong with it..helps them by giving them a job and helps me by not having to spend my spare time doing housework..works for both :-)
We all know there are those that take advantage, but most of us don't and are good employers. Is is some kind of reverse snobbery? :confused: |

1/7 - tea was my saviour
FWIW, i agree that there does seem to be a reverse snobbery about having a maid/ cleaner. I'm all for giving someone the dignity of a job and wish there was some decent regulation for them here. |
