No, WAY more!

Labour was cheap then, don't forget

Can't remember tbh. Gardener. Gardener's boy. Maid of all work. Cook (Pagey! a real fag ash Lil cockernee, had a permanent pot of what she called Brown Windsor soup going in the back kitchen, she used to scrape leftovers into it). Driver/oddjobs man (grumpy sod). Maybe others. It was far more normal in those days. I couldn't possibly afford all that retinue.
