Stonewall Jackson
For American "Poshness" I think I might qualify: Well, Im not a Bush, but I DO come from the same stock as Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, famed throughout the south for his ability on a battlefield on behalf of the Confederacy. (much better than Teddy Kennedy and his family's ill-gotten gains!)

And once, I met Lord Gage. It was the 225th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord and he was the special guest (his ancestor ordered the march which resulted in the American War for Independence). I was standing there, smartly dressed as an English Light Infantry Officer and he was reviewing "His" Majesty's troupe and when he got to us he just stood there with this "Look Mummy. A Pony." kind of look on his face. Bloody brilliant!

(Spoke with him later at a dinner and he was a right nice guy! And he MIGHT be helping to finance a film I am working on about the American Revolution, BONUS!)

Sic Semper Tyrannis!
