Ah but we also have a House of Lords - and the irony is that they have a pedegree as long as your arm but they are still not sure who there father is in a lot of cases.

There is a minor point (sorry to be so sensible) in the legal department - the naming of names. If the mother is not married doesn't the child take the mothers surname not the the father's. Well UK law anyway. And isn't there an issue with inheritance in the case of there not being a will?
