Hello. I've literally just joined.
This looks like just the site for me to talk about the wonderful thing we have in the UK, the Peerage. It may seem a little anachronistic in the modern age, especially since hereditary Peers lost their voting rights in the House of Lords in 1999, but I find the whole thing hugely interesting. Living in the UK you are never far from some stately home or ruined house/castle that once belonged (or stills belongs) to some famous Lord. For example within a 10 mile radius of where I live there are the seats, past and present, of at least six noble Lords.
