The one that impressed me Denis Howell. I arrived back in the UK in August 1976 to find the country in a serious drought. They made Denis Minister of Drought and a lot of national newspapers took great delight in taking the p1ss out of him.
Then it started raining.
Right the way through my leave it never stopped. Those same national newspapers were pleading with Denis to make it stop. Clearly the man had some clout with the weather gods.
