Re: THATCHER DEAD
I'm just grateful to "Thatcher the Milk-Snatcher" for stopping free milk for schoolkids. It was vile stuff. Always warm, delivered to the classroom in plastic tubs minging of sour spilled milk. So she wasn't all bad. When I was at infant school,my task was to deliver the milk to my class ...

Re: Last book read

You really have to read them back to back in order and once each won't be enough. 'Just finished them for the third time and I'll read them again.

Re: THATCHER DEAD
Leaving aside the politics for a minute, I can't remember any other time in my life when British people have publicly celebrated the death of a public figure (and there's been some strong contenders for the honour.)

Re: THATCHER DEAD
People develop political views that are capitalist or socialist and the differences are too fundamental to ever be reconciled. But there should always be at least respect for the opposing view.
