Brian Auger & Trinity
Trinity House.
(responsible for lighthouses, navigation buoys etc).
Trinity House was the cause of Winston Churchill's famous gaffe in his dreadful schoolboy French. He told the French Parliament that he was "an elder brother of the Holy Trinity" - which upstaged General De Gaulle.
And the General was not one who tolerated such things, I gather.
I do know he wasn't popular with my Dad.
Sherman's march to the sea.
(And the best joke I had heard from a Georgia friend of mine - Guy gets pulled over from a Georgia state patrol and told he was clocked at 90. Cop asks the driver, "90 son. No one drives that fast here in georgia. Ever heard of anyone else doing 90 down here on my highway, boy?" And the driver replied, "Sherman did." He got a $125 ticket and a weekend in jail.)
