Mrs. Mopp Goes Gay: Cappers at the Charladies Ball Was your office desk just a wee bit dusty one day last week? Or was there a tiny bit of ash left on the carpet? If so, don't blame the char. She probably was a bit preoccupied that night.... For those worthiest of the worthy - to give them a well earned tittle - those women who get up before dawn cracks the sky and make their way in small groups to do the rooms and corridors of those tens of thousands of offices in the big city were celebrating.. In spite of their of considerable age, and the never doubted hardness of their toil and the smallness of their rewards, these Mrs Mopps - as they have been known since wartime Tommy Handley so christened them - are the cheering and bost hearted of the world's workers. So, once a year, the charladies of London get together and have their own ball. A cabaret, chosen from their own talent, a skiffle group and other attractions, all help to make the chars night off and out a tremendous success.. The High Kick in the Quick Step Mrs. Mopps enjoy showing off their very real dancing abilities on the floor curing their annual ball
