One downside of the Great Monkey Migration to Girton is that our MP is now Andrew Lansley. (At least it means we should have an NHS candidate to vote for come election time.)

Now I've learned that our (Conservative) District Councillor is a Mr. Bygott.

Why yes, I did google him. It's EMA marking week, after all.

Seems I'm not the first to snigger at his name.  John Henley in the Guardian was there 5 years earlier:

In line with our well-documented policy of not making fun of people's names, we are sadly unable to report that Stamford town council boasts a Cllr Dickon G Sinker; the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York, employs a Mr Swastik Kar; or that on South Cambridgeshire district council there sit two Conservative councillors named Tom Bygott and Tony Orgee. Sorry about that.
