The world and his uncle seem to be lining up to distance themselves from Jimmy Savile - OP please note Savile is spelt with one "L" not two.

Interestingly though, the one set of people who are NOT distancing themselves from him, ARE HIS OWN FAMILY.

WHY NOT??  If Jimmy Savile was my cousin and we shared the same surname, I'd be outside my solicitor's office three hours before it opened to tell him to change my name by deed poll! 

Would you, or would you dine out on the notorioty of the name like Kray or Richardson?
