Firm looking for Irish butlers... to serve in the buff

An underdressed wine waiter may not be everyone’s idea of a gentleman’s gentleman but even butlers have to roll with the times.

The surly manner and world weary wisdom of the dutiful older manservant like Batman’s Alfred or Carson in Downton Abbey has given way to a somewhat more energetic and fun figure.

It just wouldn’t do, old boy, even to imagine PG Wodehouse’s Jeeves or Hudson in Upstairs Downstairs ever baring their bums to please their betters, let alone gain employment.
