Charles's Uncle George

George Compton at his favorite watering hole - 1997

George is renowned for spending quite a lot of time at the Palace Hotel. For a while, he had his office just over the street in the MacKenzie Buildings, but usually you would find him down at the bar.

Whenever Charles has found George at the Palace, his dress has usually been far more casual than in this photograph, comprising a khaki shirt, boxer shorts and workboots. It is difficult to find George dressed in a suit.

The Palace has recently been somewhat tizzed up, and it is doubtful whether footy shorts will continue to be acceptable dress in such a yuppie establishment. Go and see George and his Landrover, ready for work.

Go and meet George's father George Spencer Compton.

Exit from the homepage altogether.
