Then Mum died, documents were seen, and - well - it seems my biological grandfather wasn't him - it was almost certainly a certain Russian/Liverpool Jewish man. My Aunt, who turns out only to be Mum's half-sister, was reddish blonde with blue eyes. Mum had black hair, dark eyes and olive skin. <br /> Not that any of it makes any difference, I'm still me, but it does explain why Mum's wartime contingency plan was to kill herself if Hitler invaded Yorkshire http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/received-pronunciation#post-12443 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 21:10:38 +0000 Crazy_in_a_box 12443@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ seemingly its connected to the repressed catholic attitude, also found in Poland and parts of Italy etc etc well thats what my dad says.
