Woodstock, England, United Kingdom, that is.
Congratulations, Lady Randolph Churchill, it's a boy!
"Sir Winston Churchill, Britain’s legendary wartime Prime Minister, was born on this day. Surprisingly, considering his rich, aristocratic ancestry – his father, Lord Randolph Spencer-Churchill, was the youngest son of the Duke of Marlborough – the great statesman arrived in this world on a table in a cloakroom". wow. What a way to start a life!

What kind of a man was Winston Churchill? Well...
"There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion."
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."
"Eating words has never given me indigestion."
"I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks."
"This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read."
"If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another"
"Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gongthese are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history."
"I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter."
Asked, later in life, about the circumstances of his birth, Churchill replied with a smile: "Although present on that occasion, I have no clear recollection of the events leading up to it."
Yep, he was interesting.

once a lady in the house of lords told Churchill if you were my husband I'd put poison in your tea and Churchill said madam if i was your husband I'd drink it.....of course one of his best lines was this... a lie is half way around the world before the truth even has its pants on
