Mrs Mopp Goes Gay: Capers At The Charladies Ball
Was your office desk just a wee bit dusty one day? or was there a tiny bit of ash left on the carpet? If so, don't blame the char. She probably was a bit pre-occupied that night..
...For those worthiest of the worthy - to give them a well - earned title - those women who get up before dawn cracks the sky and make their way in small groups to 'do' the rooms and corridors of those tens of thousands of offices in the 'big city' were elaborating.... In spite of their oft' considerable age, and the never-doubted hardness of their toil and the smallness of their rewards, these "Mrs Mopps" - as they have been known since wartime Tommy Handley so christened them - are the cherries and best-hearted of the world's workers.
So, once a year, the charladies of London get together and have their own ball. A abaret, chosen from their own talent, a skiffle group and other attractions, all help to make the chars night off and out a tremendous success...
Perfectly in character, this charlady keeps her eye on the dancers during the ball.
