My awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

apparently (or so the family story goes)
James Callaghan, erstwhile PM of this fine country, used to be my grandfather's teaboy (presumably whilst working in the tax office).

Is it better to be able to say a PM used to be your teaboy, or to rise from teaboy to PM? Possibly the latter, depending on how history views your tenure, I suppose.

I shall save the moderately amusing story involving Battenberg cake and a packet of chocolate digestives for the replies.
