Frivolous Friday: No Future

I have had some dead-end jobs, but none like this:

Then, after that, I spent a couple of months as Princess Anne’s assistant. Um . . . well, I chucked that in because, you know, it was perfectly obvious they were never going to make me Princess Anne no matter how well I did the job, and it was a question of . . . of who you were, rather than how well you did the job, and I hate that; I just can’t bear it . . .
