how the other half live

Have to giggle... person I know that lives in a rather posh part of town posts on FB earlier this morning that's she's hosting lunch for the family today - traditional steak and ale pie with a real suet topping. But just loving her recent FB update :

Just having coffee and embroidery in the drawing room while the men have port and cigars in the dining room.


I have posh friends! :lol:

Better not come round here, then ... the normal "apres lunch" tipple for guests is Navvies' Tea, served in a mug in the sitting room! 8-)
