Very useless facts, no. 12323

When did The Times first mention Britain's most recent Prime Ministers?

Jim Callaghan - January 11th, 1946
Margaret Thatcher - June 29th, 1959
John Major - July 24th, 1970
Tony Blair - March 23rd, 1979

So although it took Jim 30 years from Times' first mention to PM, John 20 years, Maggie just under 20 years, and Tony just 18 years. Gordon meanwhile was there in 1970, so I conclude his career has been a failure.
