26 April

One day, Winston Churchill and his wife Clementine walked through a neighbourhood in London. People greeted and exchanged words with the Prime Minister. A street sweeper greeted Mrs Churchill in particular, and the two stayed aside for a while enjoying conversation. Churchill asked his wife what she had to discuss with a street sweeper for so long. “Ah... he was in love with me a long time ago," she said. Churchill smiled and said, "You see, if you had married him, you would be the wife of a street sweeper today." Mrs Churchill looked at her husband in amazement and said… “But no darling, if I had married him, he would be Prime Minister today."
