Subject: RE: BS: The last days of Thatcher
Her ethos made the British Railway system into the mess it is today, because of privatisation & the prolification of separate companies, the government subsidy is now, I believe, 5 times what it was previously!

Still, if it hadn't been privatised, I might still be working for them & not enjoying early retirement & living in Ireland. Thanks for that Maggie, but I'm truly sorry for what chaos has been rained on the railways.
