Me again with an impressive discovery. There is a couple from Christchurch, NZ in the group: Kelvin and Caroline. They lived in Glasgow for a couple of years, and I was asking him tonight at dinner if he had been impressed to find everything in Glasgow named after him, ha ha. He said no, because he is actually descended from Lord Kelvin! How cool?

    what's that in Fahrenheit...maybe his wife's maiden name was Celsius and they melted into eachother's arms. (what am I on?)

    No, Lord Kelvin's name was actually Thomson. Not sure what Kelvin's surname is, though. You don't really get surnames on these trips! But I take it his Kiwi parents picked Kelvin as a memento of their famous ancestor.
