Sir Charles Maxwell-House: At Home
Sir Charles Maxwell-House: At Home
Sir Charles Maxwell-House finds himself inelegantly squeezed into the job of hosting Pen Pusher’s celebrated back pages as he feels the cold, harsh wind of the credit crunch.
My dear friends, it has been too long, and you now find me in most sadly reduced circumstances. Not only has my fascinating piece The Reading Habits of the Chiswick Ladies Society est. 1903 – changes and trends been forcibly cut from this new issue of Pen Pusher, I find that my pamphlet, The Statistical Probability of Writing a Literary Classic & How You Might Like To Try It will now not be included as an insert. And in order to fully add gross insult to disabling injury, I must now share my copy space with a one-eyed cat! Pah! Thank goodness my dear departed mother didn’t live to see this day. [She died in 1953 – Ed]
Sir Charles’s Top 5 Tips on How to Beat the Credit Crunch:
‘It’s all about making small changes and reaping big results!’ – Sir Charles Maxwell-House
1. Have one less course at Simpson’s/day
2. Whisker set and trim at Boodle’s once a fortnight rather than every
week
3. Stop giving money to charity – completely
4. Reduce staff wages
5. Fire staff members and drastically increase workload of those
remaining.
