He's credited with quite a lot of good quotes like that...some are not his mind...

Tell you what though every time I hear the speech about the battle of Britton it makes my hairs stand on end ..." never in the field "..doing it now writing this in 35 degrees by a pool...

In that film Churchill dad thought he would never become anything...seemed like a right old b*****d his old man...

Also in the film it says at the end he was involved in the last British cavalry charge...which was not quite true as there was one in ww1...and ww2....but still one of the last
