Oh shit! I was going in for "the shortest thread competition" and have now obviously lost! I didn't expect any of you left wing hippy tree huggers to go on this thread.

Better luck next time el ted. I'm off to light a joss stick, sit in the lotus position and chew on a few shrooms. I'd love to hug a tree, but those capitalist bastard son's and daughters of the anti-christ Thatcher have chopped them all down to build executive housing estates, out of town shopping centres and motorways.

Discuss or discus? I'd sling a discus at Mrs.Thatcher... That's enough Alan. Mrs.Thatcher has (happily) stayed reticent for a couple of years and so will I. Promise...

I take it you're not an ex miner then el ted who had your job and community destroyed, or a traveller or anyone who wanted to lead a lifestyle a little out of the ordinary and didn't worship mammon.

Did you ever see a documentary called the Battle of Orgreave? Ever seen footage on the Battle of the Beanfield? Thatcher gave orders to beat seven shades out of miners and travellers. The old bitch should be hung, drawn and quartered for what she did. I for one will be having a few celebratory drinks when she pops her clogs.

Nope, I'm a builder. But I had to hop from one company to another though as the recession bit and they folded underneath us. I was made redundant twice in the 80's, so it wasn't just miners who got stuffed.

According to you the 80's, when St. Margaret of Grantham was at her height, were the glory years, so if you were made reduntant twice, they weren't THAT glorious. At least you didn't have your skull smashed by a policeman acting on her orders, unlike some miners and travellers.

Thatcher had a habit of stuffing anyone who didn't fit in with her yuppie world order. Glory years? Nope.

Well, I don't know about "glory" - but she gave me one day of rejoicing, the day she fell. It seemed the whole town was celebrating.

I remember when the new pound coin was designed that people wanted to call it a Thatcher - because it was brassy, thick and wanted to be a sovereign.
