Really quite glad it wasn't the food that did her in.

She died in a hotel though?

I feel a bit sad by it really, it's another part of my childhood dead irrespective of if you liked her or not.

But... she took our milk!

Seems fairly appropriate to me.

If Hitler had just died there would be celebrations. And many people in Britain and Northern Ireland do actually consider Thatcher to be on par to Hitler or any other remorseless tyrant.

House!

House!

As my (slightly younger) friend at work said: "But she wasn't all bad was she, didn't you have free milk in schools when she was Prime Minister?"

Quite apt

Samuel Tuck was waiting till the service was over to deliver a bouquet if flowers from his parents, Jim and Jan. Why? "It's because of right to buy. They bought their house for £17,000 and raised all of us in it. She changed everything for us."

The house, a Victorian property in the now-fashionable south London suburb of East Dulwich, had been extended and improved by the family, who are in the building trade, Tuck said. It was now valued at close to £1m, he said.

It's a real parable for out times, and a story Thatcher herself would presumably approve of.

I just went down to Trafalgar Square, to see if there was anything protesty going on there. There was a single man, dressed as a leprechaun and carry a placard saying something about Jesus forming a one world government, dancing about to Irish folk music. There were about five coppers watching him.

"He declined to discuss the cause of the rapper's death."
Hmm.

Suspected OD apparently.

Ray Harryhausen is sadly no longer animated.
