Thread Name: BS: Happy Birthday Mrs Thatcher-13 Oct 1925
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Mrs Thatcher
I must admit I actually did admire the lady. I myself saw her as our first lady, and the one who gave such strength to so many other women throughout the eighties. Sadly it's well known in circles that she has become a chronic alcoholic and depends on over the counter medication a lot. Her closest friends say her staff change monthly. So so sad to see such a fine lady from my native Finchley end her days in such a manner.
