Default Succulent identification please.

Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:150468

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but its the only
related newsgroup I lurk in

I've recently inherited a large houseplant from an elderly relative, I've
taken some photo's and have stuck 'em on my webspace. The plant is a
succulent (I'm guessing here, I have next to no knowledge on plants) and has
been left growing against a window for a looong time by the looks of things
and needs some TLC. It is very unbalanced and falls over when the pot dries
out so I would imagine it needs some judicious pruning. Can anyone please
identify the plant and point me in the direction of any good sites that
cover the care for 'em please ?

PS Any idea how old it could be ? And would it survive a Yorkshire summer
outdoors ?

This one is a crap photo of the 'trunk'.

This one is a good photo of the whole thing.

Shows the 'lean' towards the light.

This one is a photo of a piece of the plant that broke off, seems to have
roots.

Thanks all

In anticipation.
