Yeah, I remember this story! Gotta hand it to him...it was quite a trick. To keep it going that long.

"Stopford's US family said they did not understand why he had adopted an aristocratic title but said he had always loved England, its culture and people and could have developed a convincing accent while working at Disneyworld." - I love this bit!

"In England people do fantasize about being aristocrats just as Americans like to be celebrities," - not sure about this bit though!
