Yes, those ermine-trimmed coronets can be very itchy!

 

[zagatoes30]

How about Lord Longford?

Did he not inherit and have bestowed peerages?

 

[daverichardson]

Jailbird Lord Archer?

Brilliant! Yes, Frank Pakenham (already 1st Baron Pakenham) inherited the earldom of Longford in the Peerage of Ireland from his late brother in 1961.

 

[MarkMas]

Jailbird Lord Archer?

Nope. Life Peer. Not an Earl.

I remember him :/

Oh and I think I know the other now, a sort of royal but non-royal?

 

[Wanderer]

Wedgie-Benn?

 

[Oneball]

Wedgie-Benn?

He went the other way. Gave up a hereditary title to sit with the commoners.

 

[zagatoes30]

Lord Snowdon, royal but by marriage only - he was expected to give up his peerage but he never did

 

[MarkMas]

Lord Snowdon, royal but by marriage only - he was expected to give up his peerage but he never did

That's it. All the royal peers were offered a life peerage to stay in the Lords but only Snowden accepted.

Over to you.

OK, I think there are a few on here who will get this quite quickly but here goes what links the following actors or characters?

Koo Stark, Angie Watts, Jenny Agutter, Reg Holdsworth, Ainsley Harriott & Mummy Pig

 

[zagatoes30]

No takers, I am surprised as it's often mentioned on here

 

[MarkMas]

Have they all had sex with Prince Andrew?

 

[zagatoes30]

Have they all had sex with Prince Andrew?

I knew someone was going to suggest that, not that I am aware of but Mummy Pig apparently knows an ex PM extremely well

[MarkMas]

..... but Mummy Pig apparently knows an ex PM extremely well

Yeah, that story is strangely seductive, appealing and believable, while simultaneously very implausible indeed. I am almost certain that the accusation is completely untrue.

Having endured Peppa Pig every morning at 6am for god knows how long I know Morwenna Banks voices Mummy Pig.
Who I know is married to David Baddiel.

Not sure what the link is though.
