the country was going to hell in high gear While that might be how Teribus remembers 1979, it's not how I do. They were pretty good times, on the whole. There were a fair number of strikes, not excessively so, and the deficit that was hyped up as terrible was a fraction of what we live with today. And public services were vastly better. Margaret Thatcher getting elected - well that could fairly be described as the country going to hell in a handcart. Or in a handbag.
