[QUOTE="JP1, post: 8075310, member: 54"] Winston Churchill is considered by many to be ‘the greatest Briton’. He is remembered as many things: statesman, war-leader, author, wit and painter. But he was also a farmer on a 350 acre farm at Chartwell in Kent. He had a particular love of his pedigree herd of belted Galloways (he called them ‘my belties’). He also kept pigs which won prizes at local shows. He famously remarked ‘I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals’ He was guest of honour at the 1953 NFU Annual dinner where he uttered the memorable line ‘Thirty million people living on an island where we produce enough food for fifteen million is a spectacle of majesty and insecurity this country can ill afford’ He also quipped, as he peered over his halfmoon spectacles at the ranks of farmers in their dinner jackets ‘I see you are in your normal working clothes’.
