You write that as of 2024, John Major has been a former PM for 27 years – the longest in history; but the Duke of Grafton was a former PM for 41 years, from 1770-1811.

There is no strong evidence that Earl Grey tea is named after former PM Charles Grey (2nd Earl Grey).

Too Britain-centric!

LOL, but seriously, I've lived my whole life in America, I've only been to England once (for 4 days as a teenager) and I have no ancestors whatsoever from the UK... but I got all but 2 immediately, and had enough time left to eventually figure out the last 2. None of them are super-obscure... most should be guessable by history buffs even if you aren't British.
