I'll admit we only have the venerable gentleman's word for it.But I was pointing out that this was a legend to someone who had also heard it about Niels Bohr by way of explanation.
I think it is entirely possible that the story in the book is about Clement Freud -- but you having heard him tell it as being about him on the radio doesn't prove it was true any more than my googling proves it false. To not point out that this is seen as an urban legend would be to deprive anyone reading the thread of this knowledge that it may not be true.
