Apropos of nothing - and I don't know why I remember it or where I remember it from ...
Liz Hurley's grandfather was a milkman named Mr Tit

Just a wild stab .... and I'm sorry if I am right 
But they weren't all milkos were they?

Too easy obviously.
Yes they were all milkmen. 
+3 Feisor
Feisor also DGI +1 for Mr Tit. (Can you name the "celebrity" customers of Mr Tit?)
A couple of easy points still up for grabs if you can connect the subject to milkmen.

I don't even know where the "Mr Tit" info came from - my brain is a repository for so much useless "stuff" it scares me sometimes

Sean Connery was a milkman so +1 to pedro for the connection to 007.
Why "Watch out" ?

Any connection to Benny Hill and his song 'Ernie' (he drove the fastest milk cart in the west)

----------------------
I'll draw this to a close
Correct (+3)
-----------------------------
Feisor - They were all milkmen
Decreasing General Ignorance Bonus (+1)
-----------------------------
Feisor - Liz Hurley's grandad was called Mr Tit
pedro - Sean Connery (007) was also a milkman
Klaxons (-5)
-----------------------------
Not-so-bald-eagle - 'Ernie'
Elf (+2)
Unclaimed points
----------------
Mr Tit's "celebrity" customers were the Palmer-Tompkinsons
"Watch out" - comes from the old milk advert jingle 'Watch out, watch out, there's a Humphrey about"
The other klaxon was for suggesting they were all spies.
Thank you all.

Bit unfair surely !
I only posted the song once it had been suggested by somebody else (and the answer had already been found).... An obvious case of eagle discrimination, I feel I should sue you for 25 points.... Just you wait till I get the legal-eagle on this

My mistake.
The points should have been deducted from GT. I will request a correction.
