He was truly the man of the century. Time gave it to Einstein but it matters not. He has more than enough honours. The one I like the most is that Pol Roger champagne named its luxury brand after him. To me that tops a Nobel or Time magazine. I have a feeling bon vivant Churchill would agree with me.
When WSC became Prime Minister in May 1940, he and his family had moved into Ten Downing Street, which had a resident cat, Lady Soames recalls: “He was treated with great kindness but we disrespectfully named him Munich Mouser, since he was a holdover from Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s administration.”
