Let's have a look at some of the answers.
Quote: Damn, this is really tough. You need to know what the 4 offices are and who held them!
I assume it's Prime Minister, Finance Minister, Foreign Secretary and hmmm, is there a Secretary of State? Trying to think about the current lot, hear a lot about Boris, and Rishi Sunak (sp?), that's PM and Finance. Nope, I'm at my knowledge limit there.
Ok, I think all 4 have been PM at some point. Sheer guess at this point.
Audience guess - A David Lloyd George
Quote:I have no idea
For audience participation purposes I'm gonna take a shot in the dark at John Major.
Quote: Hi Kol,
Q15 - The big one.
This is a semi-educated guess. I know that John Major was Chancellor of the Exchequer before he became PM and surely that has to be one of the four Great Offices. I have a feeling John Major might have been Foreign Secretary as well - possibly another of the four Great Offices. I say semi-educated because all four options were PMs and I don't know if any of the others had also been C of the E as well. I think James Callaghan might have been Foreign Secretary prior to being PM.
My answer: D John Major
Quote: My first instinct would be to go for David Llyod George, I think he was around the early 1900's and think he held a number of offices before being PM in WW1
Callaghan I cannot recall at all ugh
Wilson, was PM twice I think, and Major both held a number of offices I think but 4? I'm not so sure.
My Audience vote goes to David Lloyd George
Quote: Ohh that's tough.
First problem is knowing what the Big four are. I'm assuming that Prime Minister, and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Haven't a breeze what the other two might be. Home Office maybe?
James Callaghan, I can't say that I 've heard of him. Not a great reason to exclude someone but if he was a big cheese I'm hoping I would have heard of him.
John Major, he was prime minister before Tony Blairs Labour government took over so early-mid 90s. The Miners strikes in the mid 80s were during a Conservative Government and I can't imagine if Labour got in after Thatcher that it would have gone back to the Torys after a few months/years. So there might not have been a break that would mean they were in power for maybe 15 years. Would that be long enough for cabinet reshuffles to let him get four different big roles?
Lloyd-George and Wilson, haven't a breeze other than they were both Prime Minister and Lloyd-George was during the First War.
I wrote the most about John Major so it in the absence of any real knowledge or clue: John Major
