If we're going to have lists of Premiers, it's nice if we don't miss any off, especially such important ones.

Otherwise some scallywag will start bleating about political bias, and especially because the influence of the missing two can still be felt today.

I'm here to help and enlighten, and am your humble servant, in this on-going endevour.

Glad to hear it. Though the verbal sparring takes precedence over The Times Crossword for raking over the old grey matter - provided the veiled insults remain tongue-in-cheek!

Reckon it depends on what one considers to be their formative years. Winston Churchill was PM during my early years, the only one that I still maintain any respect for, but not for his mishandling of the economy after the war. Incidentally, I still have a couple of my old mums ration books.

With fear of being labelled incredibly rude, I was going to go back a little earlier, and mention Attlee, but I wouldn't have been so impolite as to mention any influence from Balfour, or any formative political opinions gained prior to that.

Don't get too giddy.

My tongue's remaining firmly in my cheek.

We are never too old to learn - so my delightful grandchildren keep telling me. And the exchanges on this site are equally educational and refreshing when posted in a respectful and proper manner. I extend my grateful thanks for that much alone whenever it is offered.

Though I am influenced my great grandfather's opinion of him, who never forgave him, and thought he was evil, because he reportedly ordered that the army should use machine guns against the striking miners, in the General Strike of 1926.

You can be the class pet, seeing as the hamster's snuffed it, and the wheel's standing empty.
