[QUOTE="UNG, post: 498382, member: 8931"] Reminds me of working at Windle Hall which was the home of Lord and Lady Pilkington back in the late 70's and early 80's There was one morning we turned up at the tradesmans entrance and rang the bell a few minutes later Lady Mavis as she preferred to be called answered the door in her dressing gown with rollers in her hair we introduced ourselves and were invited in we got as far as the kitchen Aga where she lifted one of the plate covers and put the kettle on with the comment I know what you workman are like you don't do anything till you have had a brew. Despite marrying into money Lady Mavis never forgot where she had come from and was always down to earth with no aires and graces Worked there quite a few times every time I see the only fools and horses chandelier episode reminds me of the time we were tasked with fitting a new chandelier over the stairs using trestles and planks to bridge the half landing and landing, right at the critical part there are two of us trying to get the fitting on to it's hook and Lady Mavis appeared and screamed out the electricians are trying to commit hariKari walking the plank the 2 gardeners and the house keeper appeared to find out what was going on and even Lord Harry made an appearance and yes we nearly dropped the chandelier Those were the days [/QUOTE]
