Is she working in Kensington then?

You know how it works 

Watching quiz shows on TV when asked what the contestant does a civil servant nearly always say they are a "civil servant" and not what they actually do. I wonder why?

IIRC that's a requirement of their contract of employment

How odd, it's a different world from the private sector.

Not always.  I have never told anybody (outside a business need) exactly what job I ever did since I left Uni.  As for the Civil Service much of their work (whatever level) is with government protected information and a key way to protect information is not let anyone know where it might be found

Anyway it's something called the Civil Service Code and rules on contact with media.  They also have really amazing (but sensible) rules on what happens if a civil servant runs for public office.

They are also probably confused as their job title has no doubt  changed at least 3 times a year for the last umpteen years

In his bunker? 

I didn't know he played golf! 

[Nick]

I imagine his man does that for him

I have never been at ease with the golfing classes.

But golfing and class in the same sentence just does not go.  At best a good walk wasted and all too often just the aspiring untalented pretending it's good for 'contacts'.
