Bug, the mention of Churchill reminded me of a story about him that happened before the war and before he was PM.
Churchill was known to imbibe the Spirits, and not the ghostly kind. One afternoon in Parlament he had obviously had too many for lunch and some Dame went up to him, shook her finger in his face and said rather loudly:
Sir Winston, you are drunk!! To which Churchill replied: Yes ma'am, and you are UGLY!! But the difference is, tomorrow I'll be sober!!
