Shes probably scared to think how many people would spit on her coffin,

Methinks that the Great British Public will be unable to achieve the degree of solemnity and tearfulness required for a State Funeral. Maybe the government could hire a few thousand North Koreans.

Apart from Mrs. Thatcher, has anyone given any thought to any particular piece of music that would be appropriate for the occasion

How about "The Road To Hell" Chris Rea, eric? that seems very apt.

Now which small part would that have been?

Karma to you for this one -a real laugh out loud moment -can't stop!!! Thank-you

Sorry - am hysterical. It's just that i called you Twinkie - should have dropped the "T" perhaps!

We currently have a government which nobody elected.
And I do realise that a lot of people other than the upper classes vote Tory, although I personally completely fail to understand why, but I don't think we have a credible alternative at the moment.
Anyway we're all entitled to our own opinions and to vote for who we want, my main problem is with Mrs. Thatcher, I don't mind Mr. Cameron quite so much and I do agree with one or two of the current policies, the thought of him doesn't make my blood boil like the thought of Maggie does!

If yeh wonder that,then yer lights have gone out,

It was the simple fact it was a "Woman" many many female Labour voters voted on that one fact,including me late Mum In Law, n lived to regret the fact afterwards, really i credited yeh wi a bit more common than that.
