I've just completed a cultural tour of Thailand and will be returning to The Manor tomorrow. 

I expect I will receive a warm welcome from the good citizens of Romsey.

Very perceptive Tim!

My in depth cultural studies have provided me with a number of ideas ( albeit some rather abstract ) that I will expect my domestic aides  to implement with vigour and enthusiasm.

So, ideas rather than actual staff (my initial suspicion)?

Your domestics are indeed lucky to have a seigneur with such care for their job security and intellectual advancement.

I am sure Bitter’s domestics are absolutely thrilled to work under him.

Good day for a roll

My old mum drank "fruity Lexia" obtained from a cask, but the cardboard was not very strong, and the spigot drooped,  as it got older.

Such is Life.

Unless it was a free banana daiquiri, no he drinks 🥤 other drinks.

Just voted in the MFC Election.

I was shocked Uncle Bitter wasn’t a candidate.

I could just imagine the meetings at the manor.

Should that be other people's drinks.    As in a mate who only smoked other people's cigarettes,  never bought any himself,

Well we don’t want to accuse Uncle of being a tight ar-e, but I think the maid has noticed some of her fags missing from time to time.
