Shame she couldn't have sorted out a great aunt of ours! One Mildred
Harris, first wife of Sir Charles Chaplin.
As to colourful British expressions the only thing missing when Sir
Charles was collecting an award late in life from some American film

words being muttered under his breath when he bowed to the crowds, which
were "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!"
