  Reeling Rosie
Her customers, each dining alone, were as follows: Sir Roderick Glossop, Major Brabazon-Plank, Sir Jasper ffinch-ffarrowmere, and Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright (as Drones refugee).
Major Brabazon-Plank was mad as a wet hen when Rosie incorrectly served him the Roast Beef.
The Turkey Tetrazzini that Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright ordered wound up at Table D. The Filet of Sole, which was ordered at the next table South of Major Brabazon-Plank, was delivered to the table immediately to his North.

  Uncle Fred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While there, he wraps up the affairs of Polly and her man, and Pongo's money worries, with a panache only Gally himself could rival; he even avoids his wife finding out he has left home while she was away (tending her sick mother in the South of France), despite the wrath of his niece Valerie.
He has also masqueraded as Major Brabazon-Plank, the famed explorer, and as his older brother Brabazon-Plank Major, a mining engineer (hence, in the argot of the English public school, Brabazon-Plank Major is a miner while Brabazon-Plank Minor is a major).
His other exploits include shooting an old classmate's hat off with a Brazil nut and the precision of an Amazonian hunter, and happily breaking up an engagement between his nephew Pongo and the ghastly Hermione Bostock.

 Uncle Dynamite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unfortunately, the local Constable, Harold Potter, happens to have grown up with Major Plank (and also happens to remember arresting Uncle Fred and Pongo at the dog races under the names of Edwin Smith of Nasturtium Road, East Dulwich).
The only obstacles in his way are the real Major Brabazon-Plank and the irresistible opportunity to judge the Bonnie Babies competition at the Ashenden Oakshott FĂȘte.
The story has also been adapted as a serial in six half-hour episodes for BBC Radio 4, starring Richard Briers as Uncle Fred and Hugh Grant as Pongo, with narration by Paul Eddington.

(The Major is a miner and the minor is a Major.)
