In - joke.
Mainly for the benefit of North Americans.

One of Mayor Lewis's sayings is "I'm on the job seven days a week". Whilst it can mean working "on the job" is also Brit slang for "having sex". There are hints in-game that Marnie isn't Mayor Lewis's only lover.

Considering how few children there are in The Valley from the start, the mayor is apparently firing blanks. Then again, one wonders where all those babies that can be adopted come from...
This might be down to the exceptionally low number of nuclear families. Only Jodi and Kent are cohabiting with children. Evelyn and George are married and had at least one child.

That would also explain why he loses track of his underwear so easily

Sorry I forgot Jodi and Kent and Demeterius and his wife (sorry) which makes my original point far less sustainable.

Ennh.... while I could be wrong, my understanding was that CA is a U.S. native.

So I'd guess that "on the job" is meant to be taken literally (in context) and is not (intentionally) intended as a euphemism.

Just a guess on my part though.
Well there's Mayor Lewis's shorts. And the discovery in the bushes. And Pierre's stash. And indications that Abigail isn't Pierre's daughter.

Why not simply say "I work seven days a week" ? A lot of Brit culture goes stateside via our sitcoms, or used to. I'm pretty sure the double entendre was entirely intended.

Those are all pretty normal predicaments though, they aren't anymore British than they are American.

"I'm on the job" is also used the exact same way here, but the euphemism is generally reserved for working girls, not just sleeping around. If the double meaning is intentional its more than likely just another cheecky hint at Lewis and Marnie's relationship. The guy did leave his shorts at her place after all, its usually the other way around.

Hi RobbE,

From reading various Wikis there are hints in the game that Marnie isn't Mayor Lewis' only lover - some are very subtle and some are very rare.

Galifry it looks like you havnt chated enove with Abbys Mother and the Sorcerer. if you done you know that Lewis has nothing to do with Abbys Story... Not to mentation Abbys dyed Hair Color and here Statement that this clolor never wears off despite the fact she dont redyed it a long time ago (look at the sorccerers hair color)
It's actually one of Robin's dialogue lines that may raise suspicion.

Which would be? All of her dialog basically revolves around either carpentry, her husband, or Sebastian's health. Obviously he isn't Demetrius's, but there's nothing pointing to Lewis either, or anyone for that matter.

Given how similar he and Abby are, my suspicions have always been on the wizard. Clearly he's not above dating married women after all.

What are these hints at Lewis cheating on Marnie?

I think the one usually pointed to is one time you can go into the Carpenter shop (you know, her place of work) and she's expecting Lewis (you know, someone she knows and probably has done work for and is the local mayor and I think visits the shop in-game sometimes.) Which of course means they must be boning.

So many inappropriate wood/carpentry/tool puns, so little time...
Saw on a Dangerously Funny video that In Alex's room there's a "well polished helmet".

Are we SURE Concerned Ape isn't a Brit ?
