Has anybody memories of George Brown sober?

Both wine and bread at confirmation were fake and this small site might just attract others that experienced the same. Critical voices? Those that participate? Who knows. For those that find sympathy with a walk on the wild sides of life, mountains, rivers or forests but do not pretend to escape. Other bits and pieces the news and also odds and sods that cry out "leave it off mate". Justly a lark and maybe the lark. But the lark will often land on the cactus.

I'd rather have George Brown drunk than Gordon Brown sober any day!
[Goerge Brown - who he? You're letting your age show, Zola.]
In Finland there has been a fairly traditional link between booze and the Foreign Ministry.
Anyway thought you would remember old george, Anticant. Those were the days ei?
I was at a conference, one time, where a guest speaker was Lord Caradon.
He told a Drunken George story - one which I have heard with different names in pole position. No matter.
Story goes that at a state dinner, in South America, Lord Caradon was asked for assistance in 'fixing-up' Our George with the purple dressed beauty in the corner. Needless to say, George was in a considerable state of disrepair.
Caradon's reply was as follows.
I can't fix you up because :
1) You are drunk as a skunk
2) you are representing Her Majesty
3) That 'beautiful thing in the purple dress' is the ArchBishop of Caracas
I wonder
De-frock em all merkin
Whatever, floats yer boat, Zola
Really must find a few more golden oldies like this to keep yall appy.
Lord Caradon was Paul Foot's Dad. He put his left Foot forward.
Charles II said of his prospective nephew-on-law, Prince George of Denmark, "I have tried him drunk and I have tried him sober, and there is nothing in him either way."
Wasn't the same true of George Brown? He seemed much more significant at the time than in retrospect.
