Thread Name: BS: Maggie Thatcher Day
Subject: RE: BS: Maggie Thatcher Day
My British friends tell me that one name they use for Ms. Thatcher was "Daggers," because, on the underground, the station for "Daggers" is "two stops past Barking." I don't know what actual station names are involved here, but the punning is obvious.*
