The qualifications to be head cook at Downton Abbey are: To like the colour purple, to watch The Talented Mr. Ripley, to listen to The Banana Boat Song, To know, what I am now, is who I was meant to be, to like Grumpy Cats, to want Amazon Gift Certificates, and to Drink Brandy. what ever happened to catering experience confused

You may well do, with all of those Dowagers to cook for grin

Yes - the rest of us will starve!!! shock

newist Wed 08-Jan-14 19:16:55

As far as I know I am still the only one in the kitchen, this may be cause for concern grin

Well, that's just dandy, I'm Carson. And unlike you, grumppa, the gender is most definitely not right. How did that happen - me being so modern and vivacious and all?

Though looking at the set of that manly jaw, I do admit I detect a slight resemblance....

Thomas the valet is also one of the baddy characters,never let's us down, always behaves appallingly.

Lona Mon 06-Jan-14 17:19:27

In my dreams, I'm Mrs Tom Branson wink

You said it Annie he is dishy.......

Anniebach Mon 06-Jan-14 17:03:19

True Margaret, at least he isn't boring , and rather dishy too

MargaretX Mon 06-Jan-14 16:48:01

Good for you, Annie Secretly I rather like Thomas and would prefer his company to Mr Bates any day. Sorry he's gay.
There are so many Dowager duchesses amongst you all. That explains why GN is so interesting.

Anniebach Mon 06-Jan-14 15:55:44

I am Thomas, oh deary me

merlotgran Mon 06-Jan-14 15:53:39

MargaretX, The actress who played Sybil will be starring in Jamaica Inn which is something to look forward to. Can't remember her name though.

Another Dowager Duchess here! Quite pleased really, I think she is hilarious. Really love this era, my husband and I had a 20s/30s themed wedding in June 2012. I walked down the aisle to 'Always' by the Ink Spots and back up again to 'Me and My Gal' by Al Jolson. We had a beautiful 1926 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost which was all red velvet inside, it was gorgeous. Nearly everyone dressed up as flapper girls and gangsters etc. and we had a great day! smile x

MargaretX Mon 06-Jan-14 10:22:39

Well I'm the Earl of Grantham! Actually I thought I might be before I realised it was a quiz and then that came out. I found the colours hard to choose from they were all so garish ( my computer?)

I'm definitely not Lady Edith. I liked Sybil the best.

I am the lord I, love dogs and Pimms would that help to be him?

KatyK Sun 05-Jan-14 14:40:39

I am Anna! That suits me fine - I wouldn't mind snuggling up to Mr Bates!

newist Sun 05-Jan-14 14:33:53

So far I am the only cook, I hope I get some staff soon, smile

yogagran Sun 05-Jan-14 14:07:15

Looks as though lots of us are the Dowager Duchess, goodness knows why I am too although I do admire her strength of character

Granny23 Sun 05-Jan-14 13:12:01

Kitty I am also Anna and had the exact same thought when I saw Joan's post. Think I'd rather stay with Master Bates grin
