[edit] Peerage

One has to be very careful when dealing with this particular subject and the peerage, since he did not accept all the traditions of the peerage. When the article says he wanted to be known as "Lord George Brown", this is correct as written. He did not want to be "Baron George Brown", because it isn't usual to refer to life peers as Baron outside of formal naming and George Brown was a very informal man.

Likewise, strict application of category ordering would place Lord George-Brown under the 'G's, but that would be inappropriate in this particular case. He still regarded Brown as his last name. David | Talk 12:02, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Aye and thanks for the explanation. Greetings Phoe 12:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
