Mr T.

Much like the chief engineer, he was a Geordie.

Charles Grey, Prime Minister of The United Kingdom.

Huh, he enacted the end of slavery in the British Empire. Neat!

Big monument to him up a pole in Newcastle.

I love a statue at the top of a big pillar so nobody can see what it actually looks like.

There were a lot of shit sculptors in the early 19th century, it seems.

Probably hard to do a good sculpture when you're off your tits on dubious 19th century medicine, to be fair

And why were they so hot

You made me spit out my earl grey

Ask Lord Garth. But ask nicely.

I do not know, but I like the tea.

It’s me, I’m Earl Gary

He died fighting a balrog and came back as earl white
