  1. Yes. I would say that, wouldn't I?

  2. Yes! Shocking then, but not so shocking now.

  3. You know, my first thought was to put 'he would say that' as the heading and then I thought I'd put 'shocking then, not today' and then I went with what I have.

    Now, which one of them said it and who was the 'gentleman' it was being said about? No peeking.

  4. Mandy said "'e would say...". I assume it was about Profumo, but it was all such a long time ago.

  5. Mandy said it, yes, about Lord Astor who denied her allegations; this was at the trial of Steven Ward. Profumo of course.

  6. If Profumo was around now he would have still resigned, but he'd be back in office within 6 months.

  7. In America we are familiar with the name Profumo, and that he may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, ah, very frequently. But who are the dames, exactly? Because I'd like to have committed a crime with the brunette.

  8. The one nearest is Mandy Rice-Davies. The further is Christine Keeler and the year is 1963.

    Read about it all here.

    Incidentally,
    Mandy has a website.
