Fogle's interior style is inspired from his travels making him a natural fit for OKA, a brand as famous for their Chinese wooden trunks as their stunning Indian-inspired Ikat fabrics. "I love design and eclectic styles from different eras and countries," says Fogle. "I don't like conformity in design. I'm quite eclectic and OKA's design range seems to work well with things you’ve inherited or found on wonderful holidays or travels." His Notting Hill house is a shrine to his adventures to remote corners of the world; "I usually pick up something either small or useful for my home that reflects my travels. My favourite place for shopping is Peru and Bolivia. I have a large collection of antique Ponchos which are incredible."...
He says of Hastens beds which are top of his wishlist, "They are incredible. I once slept in one and promised that I would one day treat myself. They are eye-wateringly expensive, but what price to you put on a good night’s sleep?" When not trekking across remote lands, Fogle likes to host parties in his kitchen in London. "My wife and I live in this light, spacious room and we love sharing dinner with friends and family around the big table." What does he advise for hosting at home? "Be relaxed and fun with your décor. Prepare as much as possible in advance so that you can enjoy spending time with your guests when they arrive instead of setting the table or cooking."

Mrs Beeton's Household Management said:17. ENGAGING DOMESTICS is one of those duties in which the judgment of the mistress must be keenly exercised. There are some respectable registry-offices, where good servants may sometimes be hired; but the plan rather to be recommended is, for the mistress to make inquiry amongst her circle of friends and acquaintances, and her tradespeople. The latter generally know those in their neighbourhood, who are wanting situations, and will communicate with them... Every portion of work which the maid will have to do, should be plainly stated by the mistress, and understood by the servant. If this plan is not carefully adhered to, domestic contention is almost certain to ensue, and this may not be easily settled; so that a change of servants, which is so much to be deprecated, is continually occurring.
18. IN OBTAINING A SERVANT’S CHARACTER, it is not well to be guided by a written one from some unknown quarter; but it is better to have an interview, if at all possible, with the former mistress. By this means you will be assisted in your decision of the suitableness of the servant for your place, from the appearance of the lady and the state of her house. Negligence and want of cleanliness in her and her household generally, will naturally lead you to the conclusion, that her servant has suffered from the influence of the bad example.
The proper course to pursue in order to obtain a personal interview with the lady is this:— The servant in search of the situation must be desired to see her former mistress, and ask her to be kind enough to appoint a time, convenient to herself, when you may call on her; this proper observance of courtesy being necessary to prevent any unseasonable intrusion on the part of a stranger. Your first questions should be relative to the honesty and general morality of her former servant; and if no objection is stated in that respect, her other qualifications are then to be ascertained. Inquiries should be very minute, so that you may avoid disappointment and trouble

Probably but I am liking this voyeurism.Didn't we have a thread about this once?
it sounds more like vogel, the german for birdFogle sounds like a name of a cat.
depends who you were servant to. being servant to d'artagnan for example was more hazardous to life and limb than being valet to bertram woosterIt's funny, you know. For much of history, being a servant was a much-sought - and valued - position.
Wow!
Where did you find that?

Daily Mail in Oct 2012 said:‘I have come here straight from Pentonville Prison, where I was doing a visit,’ said Mr Aitken, who perhaps more than anyone else of the peer’s acquaintance can understand what he has been through. ‘Conrad will find coming out of prison is harder than going in. He will find out who his real friends are, and it is a very bumpy process. It is amazing the ones you expect to stay true who you never see again.’ Mr Aitken, who has become an authority on prison reform, had sound advice for Black. ‘It is much easier to adapt to life outside if you become a bitterness-free zone. Prison is a chapter that has passed. To keep that chapter open is a mistake,’ he added. The banker Rupert Hambro, who was a director of the Telegraph group when Black was in charge, was also at the party. ‘We have been friends for years,’ he said afterwards. ‘It is important to stick together.’ The party for the book, published by Biteback, a company partly owned by Lord Ashcroft, former deputy chairman of the Tory Party, was organised by Mayfair bookshop Heywood Hill, which belongs to the Duke of Devonshire. Heywood Hill is run by Nicky Dunne, who is married to the Duke’s daughter Lady Jasmine Cavendish. All were notable absentees from the party. As for Lord Black himself, as he left the party he was asked if he had paid for it. ‘Do you think I would pay to sell my own book? It hasn’t come to that, brother!’ He is expected to be back among friends today at the quarterly board meeting of the Catholic Herald, where he is a major shareholder. In the evening, he is being wined and dined at a private club in the City by William Shawcross, the official biographer of the Queen Mother.

Bush. And he did inherit an economy that has been run by people who believed in the elimination of savings, the spending, and borrowing to the maximum degree possible by households as well as by government...
... As long as you have laws that defend employees, and defend them against being exploited and mistreated, and there are such laws — and there should be, and they should be enforced — you don’t need unions... They’re terribly retrograde for us. ... And, the right to strike against the public interest should not exist anywhere. If people don’t like their jobs in the public service, then they quit. No one is saying they can’t quit.

And back up the thread, Jacob Rees Mogg is a self important prig, I am frankly amazed that any constituency would have selected him as their candidate let alone voted him in. What is the world coming to?
