.Should ones butler iron a chaps Times?

Answer 1

Once upon a time it was the thing to do.

However, The Times is no longer what it once was and hardly worth lining the bottom of a dog kennel let alone ironing a copy.

Answer 2

Of course old thing,but one just can`t get the staff these days .Those butler chappies just aint what they used to be .Har Har

Answer 3

Iron, Iron, good heavens no, it must be folded neatly and thwust into ones Corby along with ones tryziz. So amusing fnarf narf.

Answer 4

Of course, but only after he has run your morning bath. It is so awfully hard to get a butler these days who doesn't try to screw one's mistress or worse still one's children. I had to fire my cook for p1ssing in the soup and she brought in her union, intolerable! !

I do so miss the days of the Raj.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Well, if mine did not, I would fire him on the spot, old boy.

He must also Iron my Socks and Underpants.

And lay the Table with the utmost precision........

But everybody feels as I do about these things surely?

Answer 7

Yes, especially if it is a bit damp. If mine complained, I would thrash the git.

Note to certain Yanks:
In England if one says "Times" or "The Times" it is taken that one is referring to THE TIMES newspaper.

No matter where I would be in the world, I would refer to the Times and a couple other UK papers for a balanced world view.

Answer 8

If one's butler did not know this, one should let him go.

Answer 9

If one were truly a gentleman, let alone a Lord, one would not need to ask such a question.

Answer 10

As in Times magazine or something? WTH?
