[edit] = Unsourced anecdote

I deleted the following section, which doesn't cite a reliable source, is unencyclopedic in style, and digresses into an irrelevant (and confusingly written) anecdote:

He was also a friend of Noel Coward, he was homosexual which is why he left England, he was not on good speaking terms with his brother, who had 3 children, 2 daughters and one son (called John Wheeler, an Engineer), one of them was to inherit his money. John Wheeler may have got it, but when a rather large man came up to him and asked what he did, and when he told the man, got a rather disgusted reply, John said," So what do you do then!?"

The man was Noel Coward, the money all went instead to the youngest daughter, who was on the best speaking terms with him.

(Anonymous writer, who happens to know John Wheeler)

If a source can be found to substantiate his sexual orientation and friendship with Noel Coward, those statements could be added back to the article. Snarkibartfast 21:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
