Why a 'lady'

[edit]

She is introduced in the opening sentence as 'lady Nunn', but reference is made to this designation in the article, nor is any explanation given as to how she came by it. The designation is unsourced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.109.121 (talk) 07:44, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's because her husband is Sir Trevor: see "Personal life". It's not explained, but perhaps should be: what's obvious to a Brit might be obscure elsewhere. --Old Moonraker (talk) 10:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. Thanks for noticing!--Old Moonraker (talk) 10:30, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Elderly river barge

[edit]

What the heck is an "elderly river barge?" Does the author mean old? Or is this some british concept that others would not know about? PJinBoston (talk) 18:11, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In BrEng usage, just old could mean that it was a former river barge, not necessarily old in years (OED sense II: "Former; not current"). Elderly is specific to its condition. Any help? --Old Moonraker (talk) 06:09, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
