Ex-British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill had been a defaulter at Bangalore Club. He failed to repay Rs. 13/- when he was still serving as a Leutanant in the British army. The particular page is kept open near the entrance of the century old club till date. When I visited this club as a guest of our CEO Karthik KS, on 26th February 2010, we took a snap of the concerned page. It is rumored that the British Government wanted to pay back the amount. But the club refused to accept that and as such Churchill's outstanding amount is shown as bad debts.
