During a recent visit to London I had lunch in a pub called The Gunmakers just behind Marylebone High St. The pub contained to my surprise and delight a number of WSC items , all well known . However one item caught my eye. It was a large framed print of WSC with the following inscription underneath. Can anyone tell me whether or not it is authentic? It reads " At the end of the war, before the election he lost in 1945 The Times of London prepared an editorial suggesting that he campaign as a nonpartisan world leader and retire gracefully rather soon afterward. The Editor first informed Churchill that he was going to make these two points. "Mr Editor, Churchill said to the first point "I fight my corner" and to the second "Mr Editor I leave when the pub closes" If not genuine then it certainly has a Churchillian ring to it! Has anyone come across it before? Regards
