Leon baronets
The Leon Baronetcy, of Bletchley Park in Bletchley in the County of Buckingham, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 5 July 1911 for Herbert Leon, a financier and Liberal Member of Parliament for Buckinghamshire North from 1891 to 1895. The third Baronet was married to the actress Kay Hammond. Their son, the fourth Baronet, is the actor John Standing.

gollark: At least run the websockets through a separate platform.
gollark: I don't see why you *would* use it if it imposes such ridiculous workarounds on you.
gollark: osmarks.net simply does not use Cloudflare.
gollark: I suppose that in retrospect it should probably maybe be rewritten to buffer the last 30 seconds or so of events, and return them on request.
gollark: The API is also entirely undocumented, which is probably why.
