My memory, as ever Random Access, presents me with a possible post to write about Winston Churchill.

To hell with that.  It would be a sort of "Winston & Alec" post - the time, me aged 11, and all my schoolboy mates were all herded into a room by the headmaster, to listen on the radio, to the old rascal giving a speech to MPs to celebrate his 80th birthday.  He was still Prime Minister.

That's it, really.  David Cameron will be 80 in about 2126...  no, I can't even be arsed to come up with a punchline.

Sometimes my RAM is useless.
