jann, Listening to the #DowntonAbbey episode of #TheRestIsHistory podcast and this author just said "Oh, there's LOTS of stories about people [where] someone needs a log on the fire & they're sitting right next to it & their foot is an inch away from the log basket - but they STILL ring a footman."
Lucy Lethbridge (by the way she talks about servants) would be pro-union. Yet she would fight against the same rule in a union shop stopping ANYone from doing something stipulated as "someone else's job"!🙄
