Family claims to fame:

My dad was at school with John Renbourne, albeit in a different year (JR was 4-5 years above my dad).

My great-grandfather set up the department store "Crawfords" in Hong Kong (basically the Hong Kong version of Harrod's), but through some shady boardroom deal he lost control of the company and got booted out (about 1930).

Personal claims to fame:

Met Prince Philip when I was collecting my Duke of Edinburgh's Gold. Otherwise very little.

Graham.
