Sir Geoffrey Howe

Lord Howe complains that top Tories are not recognisable enough, which reminds me of a press release I saw a few years ago (but can't find now) which went something like "SIR GEOFFREY HOWE (NOT THE FORMER CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER) JOINS THE BOARD OF XYZ COMPANY". It appears there is a poor man who works in the City who has to go around with {NOT THE FORMER CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER) after his name.
