We all know the incredibly funny PH trope of "Doesn't your butler do that for you?" and other such hilarity, but in seriousness, does anyone here have full-time domestic staff?

Not necessarily live-in, but not a three-hours-per-week-gardener.

I'm not including carers because I know lots of people have carers and that's not what this is about.

I've done it as a poll so people can give anonymous answers if they wish.

Fun and laughter will no doubt ensue, but I'm interested.

It's taken me all bloody day to get the ability to create a poll, and you think it's all just a jolly good laugh.

I even predicted that you would.

hehe well it's going to be a very one sided poll if only those with a "man" of some sort can vote @D

Well the rest of you could just STFU. wink

Happy now?

NB. I've never done a poll before, and it's not as easy as it looks. I don't have anyone to do it for me.

See my disclaimer above. You can select as many as you wish now.

It's already ruined, after all. weeping

No it isn't but once you've done a couple you remember to do the subject "Question" line, tick the "Poll" box put in your options/choices and I little bit of text in the discussion bit

And never ever press "preview" as it wipes it all hehe
