Cheeky Brits & The Skippers Maid

I’ve been wondering where some of our Brit readers have disappeared to lately. Bulldog, Peiper? What have you guys been up to over there? You’re not working part-time as butlers, are you? That kind of work can be a little “drafty” dont’cha know? Key quote in the story below: “We want them to be cheeky but clean.” I say ol’ chap! Keep a stiff upper ... whatever ...

Half-Naked Butlers Are A Hit In London
_{June 6, 2006 12:07:37 PM}

LONDON, England (REUTERS) - Forget the quintessential image of the British butler as the epitome of discreet decorum “Butlers in the Buff” has proved such a business success as half-naked waiters in Britain that the firm is now off round the world to market the ultimate “male order” service.

The company, whose waiters wear only a bow tie, collar, cuffs and a bottom-revealing apron, is the brainchild of former Royal Marine Jason Didcott who turned entrepreneur after serving in the Gulf and Bosnia.

Determined to find a tasteful alternative to strippers and pole dancers, he lays down strict rules — each waiter undergoes a scrupulous police check and drink-fuelled clients are firmly told to keep their hands to themselves.

“What we are looking for is James Bond in a butler outfit. We want them to be cheeky but clean,” he told Reuters. “At the end of the party they can have their photo taken with the butler but that is as far as it goes. If they have too much wine and try to undo the apron, he says No Touching.”

The waiters readily admit to first night nerves — but they soon conquer them. Butler Dan Atkins said: “I love the job. I couldn’t think of a better way to earn money. At first you’re nervous but you soon forget your bum is on display and you get on with serving drinks and mingling.”

Didcott, and his company partners Will Jones and Stacey Lynn, has 75 part-time butlers on his books to staff hen parties, corporate functions and the fast growing market of gay wedding receptions. The butlers range from actors, dancers and students to personal trainers and even a hypnotherapist. “We are desperate to find more. We never have enough,” he said.

Personally, The Skipper has no use for a butler, either nekkid or fully clothed, eh wot? However, I have noticed a large accumulation of dust around the Captain’s cabin here lately. Perhaps I need to hire a maid, eh? Something along the lines of this hard-working lass on the right. I am now accepting applications for Skipper’s Maid. You must supply your own uniform which must be similar to what the lovely lady here is wearing. Of course, if yours has less material that’s not a problem. I’m sure we can work out the details later. Apply by e-mail today. Be sure to include in the “Subject:” line the words “Lusty Nympho Maid For Hire”. Only seriously deranged females need apply. The kinkier the better. I will be interviewing later this week.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
