I think it’s fun to see the combination of “fire doors” with a security guard named “Mr. Faukes”\*

I wonder if Lizzie is planning another fire and hoping the public will pay for the repairs.

Tourist Boards are SO imaginative, aren’t they?

OK, differnt spelling, I know, but I must have my small fun. 🙂

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about the fact that this is becoming a major news story. It’s certainly not likely the Hampton Court people are trying to drum up more tourism dollars or anything. 😛

Not sure _quite_ why, but **danixa** ’s post somehow brings to mind that little girl from “The Canterville Ghost” - the one that was nice and liked him, incompetent ghost though he was.

well im not santa but Fred the cupboard ghost wants a holiday so if you want a ghost i can supply, you’ll have to pay p&p and he may want to return to merry old england sometime. (jill the toilet ghost wants one too but she smells so…)
