It never crossed my mind, as to where Miss Watts and her maids for Barnes, ate their meals, they were all accomodated on the top floor --- probably still are.
Apropos meals in "Factories" --- As I was promoted, during my time with Plessey, on first promotion,
I achieved a table with a tablecloth, in a separate part of the canteen and the ability to order wine, and then, on next promotion, Joy of joys, a lady came round to my office, with a menu, I ordered my meal, wich was then delivered on a trolley, from the kitchens.
YEARS later -- I realised what a clever scam this was ---- I ate my meal at my desk, and then continued to work, without leaving my office.
Consider the relative hourly cost of my position, with that of the Trolley Lady, and multiply that by the savings of all the senior staff, continuing to work during most of their lunch-time ------- clever ain't it ?
