Get your Marigolds on.

The papers tell us that the Queen has advertised for a live-in washer-up at £14,000 a year.  Actually that's not bad when you consider that effectively your bed and board is provided.  But of course this is just the papers' "take" on the story.  When you read the small print as it were, the job is actually to be part of a team "responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the Staff Restaurant..." so you won't be washing up the Queen's prize china, and anyway, surely to goodness the palace has dishwashing machines?  Always pays to look behind the headlines.
