        Lord Harewood interviewed Callas (mistress of Aristotle Onassis) and his name was George...

        Are we looking for Georges... or even two other exploits of George Henry Hubert Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood, KBE AM ?

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Bye George, he's got it!

          How does George Lascelles fit in with a lost leader and Peter's horn?

            Ah ha!

            His wives.

            First wife Marion went on to marry Jeremy Thorpe, who was lost to the Liberal party (which he led) as a result of all that hoo-hah with Norman Scott and his dog

            Second wife was the sister of Barry ("Bazza") Tuckwell, who played horn on one of Peter Pears's recordings of Britten's Serenade...

            Any good to you?

                Very well, something gentle for the evening.

                This H, whose travel plans were upset by the French Revolution, wrote about Richmond Hill and Aberdeen, and somewhat later, about the charms of London.

                    You tease! Hope HMRC impose a penalty for egregious question-evasion and flagrant hint-dropping

                    Come on, it's not that taxing.

                        Glad to have goaded you to an answer, but at the same time I sympathise re the tax stuff, few things reduce me to gibbering anger but financial form-filling does....
