House Guests
This post about freeloading visitors from Greta She Elephant merely confirms what my Mother always told me.
“If one must allow the guests in, get rid of them after three days. For like fish, they will have gone off.”
Wise words indeed.
They are particularly prudent in these modern times, where social graces have been somewhat eroded. Apparently people who are vaguely beyond ‘hello, my name’s blah’ believe it’s absolutely fine to land on the doorstep and fester up the sofa for the next three weeks.
I fear if manners were a slab of Edam, we would be grated down to the rind.
