Sir Miles Fish
Major General Sir Miles Fish, C.B.O. of the Brigade of Guards, once described by Lord Emsworth as the biggest fool in that regiment, is the late husband of Lady Julia Fish and father of Ronnie. Although by the time he married he was, even in Lady Julia's opinion, "stodgily respectable", in his youth he was known as "Fishy" Fish and had some wild moments, including, in the late summer of '97, riding a bicycle down Piccadilly wearing only sky-blue underclothing, and in the early morning of New Year's Day 1892, trying to shoot a coal-scuttle with some fire-tongs, having drunkenly mistaken it for a mad dog, facts revealed by Gally to keep Julia in line in Heavy Weather.
