I once saw a docudrama where Winston Churchill (circa 1913) was depicted drinking in a pub. In the 1910s how normal was it for an aristocratic man to go in a pub? Either way is there are there any accounts Churchill ever doing it?

my grandfather was on one of the ships doing the Arctic Convoy when he was my age. He once told me that some of captains were so inexperienced that all they had before the war was like a yachting licence. that true? How can it be that made more sense than just promoting the jr officers or non coms?

my high school English teacher once told me Prospero just throws his spell books in the sea, rather than burning them, because people in the 1600s thought books so valuable the idea of destroying them would have scandalized Shakespeare's audience.Did people back then really view books so reverently?
