Hereditary peers welcome

“I saw this and thought of you,” said [livejournal.com profile] strictlytrue as he handed this to me. My unbounded thanks to him, not least for valiantly risking opprobrium from passers-by as he dived into a Westminster phone box and tore from its interior this card that he had spotted.

I have not mocked it up. It is not intended as some kind of clay-fisted satire. The thing is real.

It's amazing, isn't it?

It really is. Although, disappointingly, precious few of them wear bowler hats in real life, and no-one wears a monocle. Perhaps I should show this to noble Lords so they can get a better idea of how they should dress...

hehehe, I'm so glad work has unblocked LJ, if just for your posts.

Well done [livejournal.com profile] strictlytrue!!

If you want cards advertising personal services stolen from telephone boxes, then write to

Include a SAE and don't forget to mark your letter:

Nothing I learn about the House of Lords surprises me.

Oh, wait. is this card *offering* services to hereditary peers *from* a mature lady?

Certainly the fonts are cunningly arranged to appear ambiguous in this regard, but as far as I can ascertain the services are being offered to hereditary peers, not by them.

I am strangely disappointed by this revelation.

Christ. Could you get him to put it back please? Those things cost me good money.

Nice try, but I don't have any mature people on my friends list.
