The Confusion Begins

To: Sarah-Jane Chlamydia Rossington-Smythe.

Subject: From the Desk of the PLoEL

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you that the Pimlico League of Educated Ladies are collectively suffering from one of their heads.

By way of explanation, and to use Ms. Zimmer’s rather colourful parlance, we ‘got bladdered’ last night on an All Women’s Yacht Race around the Isle of Wight. Though our team won I do feel that Ms. Zimmer’s attempts to ‘recreate the glorious defeat of the Spanish Armada using fire ships’ was a poor substitute for good sportsmanship. Indeed we once again had to persuade Ms. Zimmer to apologise to the relatives.

Nonetheless I thought it would be nothing if not polite to check on your health and well-being and apologise for the sudden parting of the ways at our last meeting. I believe we were all tired and Miss Carshalton was perilously close to the edge of the platform.

  • Frugal Teatimes

    Ms Anjina has reminded us of another thrifty tip when entertaining: keep old teabags and reuse them when guests come round. (She herself is still re-using a free PG Tips sample from 1987 for her increasingly infrequent visitors.)
