    Hm. According to the Telegraph, PW and KM went to Cornwall sometime in the end of June, staying at a private house under which they registered as Mr. & Mrs. Smith. This was, ostensibly, to celebrate Pw’s birthday. Then, again according to the Telegraph, PW went BACK to Cornwall in the first week of July with a house party sponsored by “Lady Nats” and her brother. KM was not there reportedly because she was working. Now we have pics of KM from the first week of July emerging from Raffles nightclub. (Another engagement perhaps?) I’m beginning to think these people have a little too much down time.

    I have four weeks of summer holiday, one week of X-mas holiday, one week of winter holiday, one week of Easter holiday and every afternoon and weekend off all year round. Does that mean that I (and most people in my country) have too much down time?

    What does emerging from a nightclub on a Friday night have to do with working during the week?

    The photos of Kate Middleton were taken 3 July, which is a Friday night. So Kate Middleton emerged from a nightclub on a Friday night, and that means she had down time?

    Don’t most people have their weeknights off? And isn’t the day after Friday a Saturday?

    I don’t see how Kate Middleton going to a club on a Friday night means she wasn’t working at PartyPieces Monday through Friday of that week.

    Could someone explain that to me, please?
