lickypickysticky: Back in 1942 then Deputy Prime Minister, Clement Attlee  was using the urinal in the House of Commons one day when Winston Churchill took up a position at the opposite end. “Feeling standoffish today, are we, Winston?” Attlee asked. “That’s right,” Churchill said. “Every time you see something big, you want to nationalize it.”
