and bottle washer too, presumably

My delightful sons, "Boris" (7) and "Norris" (4) have just had a discussion about me, within my earshot. The latter thinks that I should be referred to as "cook", whereas the former has decided that I am "the butler".

I was about to launch into a rant about spoilt ungrateful children and being taken for granted when a rather sarcastic "quote of the day" arrived on my desktop!

of older people, and greatly assists in the circulation of their blood.

Then I'm just glad that my children have such a well profused butler!
