It's settled. I'm leaving my husband and coming to the UK to track down one of these sexy men. So hard to choose though....

I think you should go for the accountant. He lets you know what you're in for (cooking and light cleaning), and you'll get out of the house to accompany him to social functions. Of course, you'll need a clothing allowance for the said functions. Sounds like a winner to me.

My hubby sent this to an eldery gentleman with Scottish roots, got an instant reaction:
Only an ill-informed, racist sassenach such as yourself could fail to see that the characteristics of these gentle, lonely hearted lads are positive aspects of their honesty and probity.

A nice exchange of niceties followed ;^D
