Match the statement to the author:

  1. History is littered with the wars … everybody knew would never happen.
  2. Attitude is a little thing which makes a big difference.
  3. Two skeletons copulating on a corrugated tin roof
  4. Am in Market Harborough … where ought I to be?
  5. Why sir, there is every possibility … soon you’ll be able to tax it.
  6. What is the use of a newborn child?

a. Thomas Beecham … b. GK Chesterton … c. Winston Churchill … d. Michael Faraday … e. Enoch Powell … f. Benjamin Franklin

One reply

  1. 5 is easy: Faraday.

    3 must presumably be Beecham.

    1 might be Winnie?

    2 is so twee that I am reluctant to attach it to any of them. Please say it wasn’t Enoch.

    Might 6 be ol’ Ben? Or is He of the Fence a better candidate? I’ll stick with Ben.

    4 Chesterton?

    ……

    JH: I deliberately lured you into thinking 1 was Winnie, choosing a nondescript statement by him as the one. 5, 3, 4, 6 all correct.
