A DAME; A QUEEN & AN MP


PJ haberdashery


The Dame once had a luncheon with the Queen of Denmark at her home in SW France. (forgive the old thing: she is an inveterate namedropper)

HM, a very erudite lady, mentioned she always tried to visit Peter Jones's haberdashery department when in town.

The Dame recited what John Betjeman had said: "When the end of the world comes I want to be in the haberdashery department at Peter Jones as nothing unpleasant could ever happen there"

The Dame gets the same feeling when reading Felicity's Updates.

The UK may be going to hell in a handcart but nothing nasty ever intrudes into the Updates!

    1. I think it was Dick Emery who said, "You are awful, but I like you."

      Remember his middle aged spinster who responded to "Excuse Madam," with the word, " Miss." Stereotyping and caricaturing the old maid.

  3. I have to agree. Felicity's weekly messages are just full of meetings with religious leaders and LGBT groups. All very worthy but super tedious.

    1. Quite a contrast with the attack dog sitting between her and the river.

    I will be going to the Environment meeting but I have to say with some major existential risks facing the UK it seems as if it is more a national rather than a local

  5. Far more important for her to do as The Dame suggest and hold meetings about ruinous taxation like Business rates

    1. Pull you finger out Felicity! You said: “In September 2022, we published a bold, new strategy: Ending Rough Sleeping For Good.” But a year later, rough sleeping is far worse!

    2. The highest quarterly number of rough sleepers has been counted in London since records began. Between July and September, 4,068 people were found to be sleeping on the streets by outreach teams. It is 12% up on the same period in 2022 with more than half - 2,086 people - sleeping rough for the first time.

    3. OMG! Felicity is far worse than useless.

    4. Felicity do you have any views about rough sleeper’s 'lifestyle choices'? No?
      Felicity do you have any views about pushing for a crackdown on use of tents by the homeless? No?
      Your silence on so many issues is deafening.

  6. In all the time she has been an MP I cannot recall an occasion when she has got off the fence on any subject. She blows in the wind. What exactly does Felicity stand for?

    1. That fence must be really hurting her bottom.
