I haven't watched it, but I am the Dowager. grin

Nothing personal Joan but I don't particularly want to sleep with you. grin

Another Dowager Duchess here - she's one of my favourite characters but I'm a big Maggie Smith fan

Joan Sun 05-Jan-14 08:09:33

Mr Bates. Well, I liked his character....but I'm female!

Carson. At least the gender was right.

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.

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

OoH. I hadn't thought of that Kitty grin

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

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 !!!!

I am Mrs Hughes.

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

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

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

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'.

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

I'm Mr Bates too...

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

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 .....

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!

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 18:50:05

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

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'..........

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

I am Mrs, Patmore, about right.

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