A friend of a friend is a butler (I have never met him but I have heard him on the phone). He has very pronounced Queen’s English, and lives and works in Scotland. As far as I am aware he works for a few families there, at least one of whom owns a fleet of aircraft and whizzes around the country in their private helicopter. I have no idea what his day to day life is like, though the reason I know about the helicopter is because he arranged for this employee to be able to park (?) on my friend’s land on a journey south, so that gives me an idea of the sort of role the butler has. He is in his 50s, but I don’t know how long he has been a butler, nor how he came to be one, sorry!
