Talk:Lord Privy Seal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anecdote: during World War II, Winston Churchill was on the toilet when someone told him (presumably by shouting through the door) that the Lord Privy Seal wished to seem him. Churchill's response: "Tell the Lord Privy Seal that I am sealed to my privy, and can only deal with one shit at a time." — Franey 13:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Very droll. I am just about to delete this nugget from the article, as it is not sourced. -- Hoary 02:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article not clear

This article speaks a good deal about what the role of Lord Privy Seal is not, but doesn't really clarify what the role IS. Why is a person given the title, Lord Privy Seal.. And what rights or powers does the title confer upon the person?

[edit] Indian Civil Service

It mentions the Indian Civil Service in the article, playing on Voltaires comments on the Holy Roman Empire. However, it is not anywhere in the article on the Indian Civil Service. Perhaps that should be changed? Kaiser matias 07:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad link?

"Peter Lacy" link in historical list seems to be incorrect
