Welcome to Vitriol and Old Lace, the continuing adventures of the Moorgate Institute of Classical Female Elders, and the Pimlico League of Educated Ladies; two organisations comprising “English Ladies of an Uncertain Age” whose activities are of interest to anyone with a particularly morbid curiosity.

Within you will find chapters outlining their antics, a careful perusal of which may shed light onto various disasters affecting the Northern Line, Pride Festivals and a certain sauna in East London.

The very latest chapter can be located here.

Aware of their devoted audience the chairpersons of the two groups have also urged us to publish some of their favourite household tips – a definite boon in Austerity Britain – plus other recipes and guidance.

They have even prevailed upon Ms Zimmer to furnish us with her unique brand of horoscope. Watch in horror as she lifts the veil.

You can now comment on some of the features and sign our Guestbook. For updates we also have a new RSS feed and you can also now like our Facebook page.

More will be coming soon!

  • Dealing with Heavy Soiling

    To remove heavy soiling, coat the offending area with melted chocolate and inform the local children that the item is sheet chocolate. Once the chocolate has been sucked out the item should be clean and can be washed as normal.
