Here's one for JohnfromStaffs, Sir Bernard Docker had a Daimler, I think, very plush, personalised registration, often seen around the City Centre, because he was chairman of.............(help me out here) and the word basket work comes to mind when I think of the car. I met him and Lady D on a number of occasions when I was with my Dad. They flaunted wealth and bling.In 50s Birmingham, any woman who exhibited airs and graces could be referred to as "Lady Muck", and also as "Lady Docker" by womenfolk, my mother included. A quick check online reveals that the said lady was born in 1906 and died in 1983, so was still going strong when she was a figure of amusement. A socialite who became wealthy by marriages, she and her third husband were renowned for their extravagant lifestyle.
