Somethings you couldn't invent - more Mosley family trivia
You just couldn't think this stuff up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Mitford
quote
On 6 October 1936, in the Berlin drawing room of Joseph Goebbels, she became Sir Oswald's second wife. Other than the witnesses, the only
guests were Goebbels, and Hitler. Hitler presented the couple with a silver framed picture of himself. The marriage was kept secret until the
birth of their first child, Alexander, in 1938. In August 1939, Hitler told Diana over lunch that war was inevitable.
The Mosleys were interned throughout much of World War II, under Defence Regulation 18B, for their Fascist sympathies. (MI5 documents released in 2002
gave a harsh view of Lady Mosley and her political leanings. "Diana Mosley, wife of Sir Oswald Mosley, is reported on the 'best
authority', that of her family and intimate circle, to be a public danger at the present time. Is said to be far cleverer and more dangerous
than her husband and will stick at nothing to achieve her ambitions. She is wildly ambitious." On June 29, 1940, eleven weeks after the
birth of her fourth son Max, Diana was arrested (hastily stuffing Hitler's photograph under Max's cot mattress when the police came to
arrest her) and taken to a cell in F Block in London's Holloway Prison for women.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I thought that was why we had lamp posts.
It worked with Mussolini.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
