Delighted that my former platoon-mate at the Oxford University OTC will becme the next MP for Sleaford and North Hykeham in Lincolnshire. He has deftly removed the Trafalgar barrel of his then double-barrelled surname; he was Trafalgar-Philipps then, allegedly having taken the name of Nelson's greatest triumph to add weight to his nomenclature. I cant imagine why he would have felt that his soon-to-happen graduation into the Welsh Guards would have required the engrandising of his very acceptable, single-barrelled name...
