Indeed...

Very much tongue in cheek. And I thought Terry's question was about who he is and who the '& sons' refers to, not the 'dreadful' bit.
John Cummins, he would have heard 'dreadful' used in relation to a lot of people in the same manner.

I was actually referring to calling up Bob Muir to learn more about Reg Papps and any appropriate 'sons'.
