 Odd Claims to Fame - Bromptonaut
I use the word fame in it's loosest sense.....

Had a couple of trips to London this week to meet up with former colleagues. In course of conversation at first the name of a mutual colleague cropped up and I chatted briefly to him at another gathering yesterday.

His 'fame' arises from being subject of a Judicial Review case R v Lord Chancellor ex parte Nangle. That case held that Civil Servants had contracts of employment and did not, as government asserted, hold office under prerogative powers of the Crown:

swarb.co.uk/regina-v-lord-chancellor-ex-parte-nangle-ca-1991/

The fact that managers tried to discipline Mr N will be no surprise to those who knew him!!

Another former colleague was employed as a Court Service Civil Servant while waiting to start training in Air Traffic Control. He subsequently went on to take a key part in redesigning the traffic patterns around London. Traffic flying into Luton and Stansted from North routes via a waypoint called CLIPI, named after him - surname was Clipp.

Any others got similar stories?
