Have a go here

I'm Tom Branson which is just as well seeing as I do all the driving!!

Marelli Sat 04-Jan-14 17:48:31

I'm Mr Bates!shock

Ana Sat 04-Jan-14 17:49:09

Ha, ha, I'm the Dowager Violet Crawley!! grin

Rowantree Sat 04-Jan-14 17:59:17

Probably Daisy, with a bit of Lady Edith thrown in for good measure! Would love to have the wit of Lady Violet and the poise and confidence of Lady Mary, but it ain't gonna happen!
If I'm honest I'm probably also a bit of that sly footman chappy - the nasty one nobody likes, whose name I can't remember.....

Ana Sat 04-Jan-14 18:10:30

You're supposed to do the quiz, Rowantree! smile

I don't know that I'd have actually chosen to be Lady Violet, although she does have all the best lines, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have ticked 'The Turtles'...confused

Marelli Sat 04-Jan-14 18:10:58

Did you click on the blue link that merlot put in her post,*Rowantree*? smile

Bellasnana Sat 04-Jan-14 18:15:09

Oh heck - I'm Lady Edith!

Enviousamerican Sat 04-Jan-14 18:34:40

My quiz result was Anna.I do like her,but she could use toughening up!

newist Sat 04-Jan-14 18:40:51

I am Mrs, Patmore, about right.

Lona Sat 04-Jan-14 18:46:21

Ana I got the Dowager too, but I didn't click the Turtles! grin

I always wanted to be 'Lady Muck'..........

Rowantree Sat 04-Jan-14 18:50:05

Oops - nooo, I didn't click on any link! looks embarrassed - I just guessed that's what I'd be!

Gagagran Sat 04-Jan-14 18:50:34

Looks like we'll have to take turns Lona and Ana - I'm the Dowager too!

Rowantree Sat 04-Jan-14 18:54:17

I KNEW IT! I DID come out as Thomas! However, I'd never heard of most of the songs I had to choose from - so I just plumped for anything. Oh well!

Nonu Sat 04-Jan-14 18:56:48

Lady Mary , don"t know if good or bad as I don"t watch Downton !

HOPE GOOD .....

Ana Sat 04-Jan-14 18:59:23

Well I like Lady Mary, Nonu, but she is a bit cool and stand-off-ish - not at all like you I'd have said! grin

mollie Sat 04-Jan-14 18:59:47

I'm Mr Bates too...

Granny23 Sat 04-Jan-14 19:04:04

I am Anna, I expected I would be 'downstairs' as all the females in my Paternal Grandmother's side of the family were 'in service'.

Nonu Sat 04-Jan-14 19:10:12

ANA Honey , A thank you may be in order !!

dustyangel Sat 04-Jan-14 19:10:22

Total rubbish!...... I'm Anna.

Dh thinks it's rubbish as well...but that could be because he came out as Cora the Countess. grin

shysal Sat 04-Jan-14 19:46:50

I am Mrs Hughes.

My inner Dowager Duchess of Grantham rose to the fore today. I had to bang off an email to a very famous retailer, one with an excellent name and reputation who had mucked up a click and collect sale order, having left off a couple of items and charged me for them anyway. Their email in response to one I sent them about this, actually stated "We are sorry for the INCONTINENCE you may have experienced as a result of our error" In my reply to them I responded along the lines that their error had not caused me any incontinence and my bladder was, happily at present, in good working order, and I imagine they meant inconvenience. It was hard to believe that it was even a typo given the number of letters in the difference between incontinence and inconvenience, I presume that's what they meant, as I have never actually wet my knickers in their store, but hey ho there's a first for everything, particularly as the email from God knows who at their company addressed me as Dear my first name, as opposed to Dear Duchess of Grantham !!!!

kittylester Sat 04-Jan-14 19:53:27

I'm Anna. Seems about right to me!! And, presumably get to sleep with Mr Bates grin

dustyangel Sat 04-Jan-14 19:57:51

OoH. I hadn't thought of that Kitty grin

POGS Sat 04-Jan-14 20:26:44

Flipping heck, I'm Lady Edith. I would have liked to be The American mother, can't remember her name. Old age kicking in.

I really like Kitty's thought on who Anna get's to go to bed with though. blush

Well, I'll be darned - I came out as Cora, Lady Duchess of Grantham. There's a turn up for the books - I'd have thought I was more of an Anna.
