Talk:Lord Emsworth

I have removed this sentence from the 'origins' section as it is entirely lacking citation or any background or evidence, other than that it is a 'little-known fact', and sounds like an attempt at a joke -


 * A little-known fact is that Lord Emsworth was based on Wodehouse's acquaintance Sir Cyril 'Brassica' Bormsly, an absent-minded lover of roses and gardening.

The name proposed (even just the surname) comes up with nothing on Google. A far more fluently argued suggestion for an Emsworth inspiration is the prize cow- and pig-keeping Charles LeStrange, discussed in an article here. If anyone can provide some information regarding 'Sir Cyril Bormsly' I will be happy to reinstate the entry. JohnnyZen 11:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

When in Emsworth?
The amiably absent-minded editor who first wrote it apparently didn't spot the glaring flaw in the sentence: "[...] Lord Emsworth takes his name from the Hampshire town of Emsworth, where Wodehouse spent some time in the 1890s; he first went there in 1903, [...]" I don't know what the actual dates were, but it might be worth someone checking :-) Oolon (talk) 12:24, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
