Which Downton Abbey character are you?

Not you *Newist you are a fragrant little flower .
Still wouldn't mind a bit of tiffin though , could you rustle up something a little light for me . have to watch my waistline , don"t cha know !
not one these though !

When I collect the eggs, go to the smokehouse to get some salmon, I shall do scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast, if you don't mind waiting for the bread to come out of the oven, just for you, as you appreciate the work I am doing

I don't watch the programme, but know a little about it. I've come out as Carson. After just a quick scroll down the replies, there don't seem to be many of us. And yes, it is the wrong sex! Oh well, I suppose I do like to wear the trousers!

Oh I do, I do, you may rest assured I will speak with Mama and explain your situation . That you are finding it frightfully difficult to manage in that kitchen alone .
This smoked salmon is quite delicious incidentally .

I seem to be Mrs Patmore. As I don't watch Downton Abbey, I have no idea what her job is. Would I be any help in the kitchen, Newist ?

You will be equal head cook, 2 head cooks?

Two heads are better than one...

We can duel with the soup ladles.

But, too many cooks spoil the broth and, for all I know, the quails' eggs, the pheasant, the salmon, the venison and probably most other things.

Anyone seen that nice Tom?

Better still, 1 day on, 1 day off, we still need a Daisy though, to do the boring bits. Please Gnetters, many more are needed to fill in the forms to find a Daisy.

I was going to offer to make all those posh people upstairs my mother's trade-mark souffle omelette, which got her a ten-bob note tip from Florrie Desmond in the early thirties, but I need Daisy to hand-whip the egg whites. It needs someone with a strong right wrist and the ability to keep beating for some time. Do you think any of the male outdoor staff would volunteer?

Tom may have a strong wrist action.

Enlist him at once!

I'd say Thomas would be a better bet...

Tom's in the village driving up and down outside the school trying to look as though he's searching for his lordship's lost pocket watch (probably nicked by Thomas)

If you're very nice to him, he'll bring back some cream horns from the tea room.

We will do whatever it takes to get Toms cream horns. I hope he finds what he is looking for.

I've got 12 cream horn moulds, we can make our own. (no - I've got 18. inherited 6 from mother, 6 from auntie, and six of my own) I've not used them for years.

Stop it you lot, my drawers will need laundering at this rate, and I don't think we've got a laundress have we?

No, the last old scrubber washer-woman made eyes at His Lordship and had to be Got Rid Of sharpish!

Perhaps you could go commando, Lona? No one will notice under all that bombazine...

I volunteer to help Tom search for whatever it is he's lost Especially if it involves cream horns

Lona we do have a mangle and a poss tub In the wash house. Like Ana says we do need a scrubber to operate the scrubbing board. Oh dear where to find a scrubber in Downton Abbey????

Ana (lowers eyes modestly) I couldn't possibly!
Eye em a Duchess!

That kitty looks like a candidate to me!......... keep your paws off Tom I'm having him first!
