Banjo Johnny, my sister has the whole story on the term "Bob's your uncle" which of course means "it's that simple", or "simple as that." The long and the short of it was that a rather inexperienced man received a high-ranking position in the British government, solely, because of his uncle Robert, also known as Bob was a hugely popular and well-respected goverment official. My sister has all the names and dates and specifics...I'll post them later today.
