my direct relative designed the red one. My only claim to fame.
Oh yeah, well my direct relative flies the blue one.
Who?
Exactly
He also designed the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, I believe.
correct! he did indeed.
I'm now going to exhaust the interesting things I know about this by saying: he won a competition with his design of the Anglican cathedral despite being a Catholic himself; the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool was conversely designed by an Anglican. The city was a lot more sectarian then than it is now and the cathedrals stand at either end of a road called Hope Street.
Sir Scott *tips hat.
