Too true!

Anyway, time for supper.

Good night all!

Rather late for supper, no?

Sensible though.

Who needs supper when you have gin?

There's some rum hiding beneath the vacuum cleaner in my house.

I suspect my mother...

Quite honestly, it's nothing to do with me.

I think I'd hide it somewhere more secure if it were mine.

I know, and I bought it right back on topic (well nearly!

)

We did NOT have middle ladies. We had matron and deputy matron and assistant matron.

Now I think of it, there may have been a couple of mouse-like ladies who ran away when any pupils came near. Think they worked during morning lessons and could be spotted at break, scuttling down the corridor.

They never had a title though.

We always had middle ladies in Maine - they do match the description of the 'scuttling' ladies...

Ah well, you see it's my fantastic descriptive powers.

I never knew we had middle ladies. I wonder what their job description was like? Would I be qualified to be one?
