Ordinary People Have Two Kitchens, Right?

[joggerjayne]

I'm not sure what I think is the best thing?

The fact that Ed Miliband, who is all for kicking "posh" people, has two kitchens ... one for his family, and one for their slave type of person, so that the family don't have to cope with a common person using their kitchen. Or,

The fact that Red Ed thinks that having to kitchens is "nothing out of the ordinary".

So, as Red Ed thinks that David Cameron is out of touch with ordinary people ...

Just to clarify that Red Ed is totally in touch with "ordinary people" ...

We all have two kitchens, right? (one for personal use, and one for the domestic staff?)

But JJ, you have a lady who does...

[gness]

JJ...I once had a house with two kitchens.....I find one more than enough...x

[Baldric]

Does Olive not have her own facilities, Disgraceful!!!!!!



;o)

[joggerjayne]

Olive shares my kitchen.

In fact, if Olive didn't use my kitchen, it would just gather dust.

But that's not really the point.

[Psybbo]

Oh, I'd love an Olive, then I wouldn't need two kitchens!

[Baldric]

That's the whole point,
you must look after the Lady who does?

[Psybbo]

Oh, apologies I didn't notice this is in News, bye.

[Tilly2]

I have two kitchens but I call one of them the utility room.

[joggerjayne]

Maybe there's a thing about not using one's own kitchen?

When I'm at home, I hardly ever go in the kitchen, except to make coffee and watch the telly.

Okay, I sometimes use my Nutribullet.

But when I'm at my BF's, I'm always "knocking up a little something". Okay, not always. But more than I do at home. Let's say "sometimes".

I think it was Private Eye quoted a savage denunciation of two-kitchen Ed from a columnist in The Times. It pointed out the writer in question was the wife of Michael Gove, who not only had two kitchens but, thanks to flipping homes, had got the taxpayer to stump up for both of them. Which I thought was kind of neat.

I'd like two kitchens like Ed and Michael. Failing that, I'd like domestic staff like you. But some people are just born to do their own work.

[Psybbo]

"knocking up a little something" Now I'm intrigued

[joggerjayne]

Hang on ... I don't have "domestic staff" !

A nice local lady, who tops up her pension by doing a bit of cleaning work, I have her come in and do my place.

It's not like she's my servant.

[jno]

she seems to be serving you, JJ? Around your domestic residence? I could rephrase her as "recipient of charitable beneficence" if you prefer.

[hc4361]

Exploiting old people, JJ, to do the menial tasks you won't do.

Can I have her number, she might be able to do the same for me :D

We got one kitchen but we have 6 bathrooms, does that mean I'm posh?

[jno]

it means you're clean (or your dogs are)

[joggerjayne]

It's more of a business relationship, I think.

I give her a car, and I pay her todo the things which, frankly, wouldn't get done if it was left to me.

Is that any different from (say) buying clothes?

If you really put your mind to it, you could make a pair of pants. But you don't. Instead, you pay Marks and Spencer (or Victoria's Secret) to make your pants, and you pay them to do it.

That doesn't mean that Marks and Spencer are your servants.

[joggerjayne]

I don't think I'm allowed to keep dogs in my flat.

6 bathrooms is definitely posh. If everyone in the house can all have a dump at the same time, that's posh.

Unless you live on your own like me.

[RATTER15]

Well only two of us JJ, but three hounds, not that they use the bathrooms though. 3 bathrooms never get used actually.
