Clem Attlee as well (Labour PM) my personal favourite and I think, a great man.
... indeed so, my late father - an East End working class Tory - respected him and usually referred to him as "Major Attlee". Attlee was initially Mayor of Stepney, whence the Teeters family originated.

A very modest man; as (allegedly) he penned of himself:

There were many who thought they were smarter,
Few saw him as even a starter,
But he finished PM,
CH and OM,
An Earl and a Knight of the Garter!!
