Very funny!  I suppose some of us must have come across some unsavoury characters - at last I'm grateful for my many dear old Ag Labs and Domestic Servants,

I just wish the census takers in the mid-1800s had really been that frank - it might settle my doubts about where my 3xgreat grandmother's chilkdren came from. 

As it is, I don't know whether she was just forgetful when asked who the father was.  She certainly wasn't consistent.

I loved that video - I forget how absolutely "dry" the British humour can be.

The little pause before she said "whore" and the "cushioning" as she pronounced it brought tears to my eyes ....
