@alex wait that's a real name?

Just sometimes with names like that, I do wonder if we're in a simulation. Like that name seems so made up.

Then I remember that England really still is Medieval Fun time land.

@onepict @alex

I *HAD* to look it up, and while she doesn't have a wikipedia page of her own she's mentioned on her dad's wiki page (Crispin Money-Coutts, 9th Baron Latymer).

The English establishment is beyond self-parody (even before you get to the likes of Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax).

@onepict @alex It helps to know that Coutts bank used to hold British banking license 002 (001 was the Bank of England), customer number one was the Monarch, it takes a deposit on the order of a million quid to open an account there, and ... you get the picture.

@cstross @alex I think people tend to forget that when we mean the establishment, some of that establishment came over with the Normans.

@onepict @cstross @alex Excellent. At least we can blame the French/Danish for all this mess.
