A Hilarious Encounter with the Chauffeur
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the essence of British humour with its witty portrayal of two middle-aged women engaged in an amusing conversation about their chauffeur. The scene takes place on a bustling city street, with the women standing near their purple car, its shiny surface reflecting the sun. The woman on the left, dressed in a frumpy fur coat and plump figure, leans towards her friend, who is equally frumpily attired in a heavy woolen coat. Both women have an air of importance about them, with their pursed lips and stern expressions. The woman on the left, with a hand on her hip, is in the middle of a heated discussion. "Did you hear about the new chauffeur, dear?" she asks her friend, who looks surprised. "Yes, what about him?" her friend replies, her hand going to her bang-covered forehead in mock concern. "Well, he's been taking driving lessons from that Donald McGill down the road," the first woman continues, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Can you imagine? Oxford-educated chauffeurs taking driving lessons from a commoner!" Her friend, trying to suppress a giggle, asks, "And what's so funny about that?" "Why, nothing, my dear, nothing at all," the first woman replies, trying to hide her amusement behind a stern facade. "But still, the thought of it is simply too absurd!" The women continue their banter, their laughter barely contained as they wait for their chauffeur to appear, dressed in his smart uniform and polished oxford shoes. The scene is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, where humour and wit were the order of the day, and the absurdities of life were a source of endless amusement. This charming postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of British humour and the simple pleasure of a good laugh.
