yes indeed, that's just my level of humour. He was in his mid 30s by 1911 - still pretty young for such a political heavyweight role

OK yes I see. I recalled that he died about 1965 aged 80ish I think. I remember 1965 because I was born in 1964 and various relations and family friends gave me baby presents of newly minted Churchill commemorative coins issued in 1965.
