I have a question in Great Britain are taxi drivers independent contractors or do they work for a taxi company. I was wondering if Gerry owned just his cab or owned a company with more drivers.

Shout out to @NotAChatelaine and @Le Comte de Monte Cristo. Really interesting googling Rita and Nina and the dutch royal family. I know your comnents were in humour or as a critique of SJ, however I just love reading and following up such posts. Thankyou.
Now onto Mitford sisters and this Alfred character.

Contrary to popular opinion, God is not sitting there waiting to condemn you, but rather to forgive you, IF you are sinning and in fact very few things are a sin. Just talk to Him about it, and forget others.

The picture she showed from Italy sealed it for me. She had her hand on his thigh like any couple does. They are a couple

Um, no. I used to pose suggestively with my "girlfriends" (I'm gay) and we would laugh about it like it was nothing, And that's what it was: nothing.

self employed normally
Unless it’s a taxonomic company where they would rent the car/ badge

I’d say he owned his own licence

That was SO creepy. I actually felt a little sorry for Squirrelnutkins. He looked genuinely uncomfortable. "How am I going to take in this semen-covered see-through moo-moo?"

Is that Colonel Sanders? He sure thinks Snorty is finger licking good. But there were even more awkward moments:
1. SJ not eating at birthday lunch
2. SJ leaves lunch to eat alone under a bush
3. SJ not getting out of car at Gerry’s rolling pick up
4. SJ being late for that pick up
5. SJ being snarky to Gerry but others are happy to see him
6. Gerry hugging Snorty instead of handshake as he did Nutty’s friend
7. Snorty looking at Gerry so deeply. He did this to Mummy, Potts even Antwon, he is creepy, makes my female intuition go “yuk!” Heathcliff you wouldn’t understand, us sluts have this for protection so we don’t end up chained in a cellar or in a Sillyman’s van.

I think in years to come La Lande will end up a chateau version of Grey Gardens, where lost dreams and saspirations are laid to rest .

That is PAAAR-fect! SJ as Edie. IJ as Big Edie. Squirrelnutkins as Eugene Disgavich. "She kicked him out in about fifteen minutes!"

SJ: " This is the French Walled Garden. EVERYthing was imported from Rome. Dan, you should plant some vegetables, because food is going up, We heard that on the radio."

Also SJ: "This is the best costume for the day. Because I don't believe women should wear skirts." (models tatty blanket sent in by fan).

So I bit the bullet and watched the CD show.
On 2x speed. Hitting the 5 sec jump button.
And this my takeaway
I got a better picture of SJ and Christie's
Just a one off thing, amongst a myriad of other displays
I enjoyed the speeded up journey on country road
Reminded me of younger days on my killer machine bike
I can tolerate BJ if I look out the corner of my eye
I can tolerate SJ if I look out the corner of my eye
I can tolerate Gerry if I look...you get it by now
Natti's apartment is still crawling along
I suspect the spiderwebs will be there for some time come
The rest was just a blur of nonsense
That priest is real weird
Hanni has nice legs
End.

I was "yes they are" and then "No they are not" a couple .
I have settled on "No, not a couple" but like you said Le Comte..... they sure Need each other !
Squirrel needs a job and what he feels - will be a future which she may help with. Ha! that will not happen when she tires of him.
For SJ ... the Squirrel showers mucho attention on her and its like oxygen for her ..... until she tires of that person and a better one comes along.
For now ... Squirrel Boy hits the spot and you know she will be nervous in NY but the Squirrel will cheer her on !
I am a touch sad they are not a couple as I would love to see the Wedding ... OMG that would have been so funny!

1. Not entirely true. Tastemakers (not all interior designers, some are jewelers and party planners) are invited to put pieces together for collectors to view, and hopefully purchase in sets. They are the equivalent of a stager in real estate.

2. SJ, with her Tonto, is most definitely the first complete amateur to be invited as a tastemaker for Christie's NY. You won't find complete amateurs on this list of tastemakers: https://www.christies.com/features?Type=Tastemakers&FeatureTypeID=32&LID=1

3. The filthy rich name-dropping parasocial sycophants won't ever show up. They don't exist in real life, just in the chats.
