April 11, 201313 yr FFS: I was about 9. At that age you develop irrational hatreds! Scarred? You mob have scarred me more Copey: yeah they used to hand out small bottles of milk for kids at junior school. Most kids loved it. It was an attempt to give poorer kids some decent food but is was given to all kids. Interestingly they used to have the same scheme in NZ and are now re-introducing it. b40rt: I mentioned that she ended the influence of the unions but the side effect was killed off over half of UK heavy industry and with it Britains position as an industrial power.
April 11, 201313 yr now if we told the kids today that the milk came in a real glass bottle they would'nt believe us.
April 11, 201313 yr now if we told the kids today that the milk came in a real glass bottle they would'nt believe us. Someone once told me it came from cows !

April 11, 201313 yr It all seems very bizarre to me that anyone would celebrate someone dying to the point of street parties. It's great we have the freedom to do that, but whatever she's done - surely it can't be morally right?

April 11, 201313 yr I'm not debating that, I'm debating if its right or wrong to 'celebrate' the death of what was, at the end of the day, a retired old woman. It must be an awful thought for her family that her death had caused joy to some. Although I'm guessing I'm talking about an absolute minority here, most of which probably weren't around during the Thatcher era. Out of interest, what do people think of the unions during these times?
