I love & loathe it...


Its interiors are spot on, the decorating is like a page from World of Interiors, the colouring & filming are bloomin marvelous too


I just wish it wasn't sooooooo slick, I like a wobbly set or an out of period font here & there but so far I've not spotted anything untoward ( yet )


The plots & story lines are like a period Eastenders mixed with Monarch of the Glen ( or Piloc of the Glen as it was known in our house ) & I can't help laughing at Maggie Smith & her fantasticly over the top characterisation


ITV have spent a fortune making this & shows

It's also bedding in nicely on a Sunday night at Woof Towers

"Must go, dinner is served"

It is a very good, period drama I would also like to see if they will develop some of the below stairs characters as in the last episode when one of the maids wanted to become a secretary. It will be good to see how this goes further as domestic services was a life of drudgery in that time period for the working classes.

My money is on the gay butler Thomas (who thought joining the medical corps would spare him any front line horror) finding himself in a front line trench with one of the sons, Mathew Crawley would be about right, and then saves his life in no man's land. Earl Robert, Matt's dad, is so thankful he promotes Thomas to Valet on his return - the position he's always wanted which rubs up the servants no end, esp Mr. Carson (who Thomas had tried to set up for theft)........shall I stop there? lol....

I do reckon there'll be a room/hall/door which will be painted in...

Downton Abbey? Really? Oh well, I suppose this is meant in a 'guilty pleasures' kind of a way.


I may record it and skip through to scenes with Maggie Smith in but otherwise I shall be tuning in to the last series of Spooks (I prefer the preposterous to the pompous). Now THERE the (wipe-clean) wallpaper will all be double sided and the colours constantly shifting...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
