SUBJ: “HOLIDAY”
Dear Sis,
Oh my gosh, you’re not going to believe how chavvy the family I’m looking after this week are. I had to write and tell you. I think they might be as bad as the group who won the holiday in the villa next door to ours in Mustique last summer. You’d cringe!! I had no idea people like that were even allowed to go skiing. I always thought that skiing was for people like me, Feef and Bim…and the royals.
But it doesn’t seem to be the sport of kings anymore. These people! I mean none of them can even do parallel turns. I know! I stopped doing snow plough when I was like eight.
I couldn’t believe it either. For my own amusement started probing them about their lives back in England. It turned out only one of them had ever ridden before and they didn’t have their own paddock. I know I should feel sorry for them but I couldn’t stop laughing. Especially when I asked them if they’d heard of Jack Wills – Get this – They said they didn’t know him. Pah!…
But you know their whole attitude to skiing is different. I presume it’s because they can’t afford it and they’re trying to get their money’s worth. They’re up early, back late and don’t have long lunches on the mountain (which defeats the whole purpose of skiing). They’ve probably done more skiing in a week than I’ve done all season!
When I mentioned my observations to my guests though they seemed quite offended. I only asked whether they were too poor to ski and they’ve kicked up a right stink. I’m now on my third strike with the chalet company though what anything has to do with rounders I’ve no idea.
Lots of Love, Tiz X
