The world needs more grand staircases. I worked for a global accountancy firm once and they had a head office staffed entirely full of Tory fuckwits that I had to go down to London to work in a few times. It had the most ridiculously grand staircase ever. The whole office was a sham tho. Nothing got done there apart from poshos drinking at their desks and smoking
The gems will be gems with it without staircases! Probably without given the state of some of thee wrecks
You have witnessed their slothenly ways? I worked within the House of Parliament during the noughties. In the summer they have what they call recess before parliament is opened again.
It's not a short break, its most of the fucking summer and the palace is pretty much empty of MP's. A long skive is a better word for it.
