  • From Harry Enfield's Television Programme, Series Two. Mr Cholmondeley-Warner
    An early 20th century television presenter (played by Jon Glover) who, with his manservant Greyson (Enfield), would attempt to uphold the British Empire's values by advising, amongst other things, that women refrain from participating in complex conversations (as this would lead to insanity) or that babies be given gin (to ensure a good night's sleep). The characters also appeared in a series of TV adverts for Mercury Communications

She grew up in the grinding poverty of the depression in the interwar years when it was common to see people without shoes on their feet for the simple reason that they couldn't afford them.

      In the 19th century, an Indian maharaja heard of the plight of an English village and paid for a well to supply clean water. This prompted other Indian benefactors to do likewise. The ornate well in Stoke Row in the Chilterns, is still there. Interestingly, some thought the ornate well was a bit too good/ornate for the locals.
