Actually, it is exactly the same.

A serious one will suffice.

But Denis was one of us - he was a member of the golf club. Drank the place dry.

Mis-attributed to her. From wiki...


"A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure."


Attributed to her in Commons debates, 2003-07-02, column 407 and Commons debates, 2004-06-15 column 697. According to a letter to the Daily Telegraph by Alistair Cooke on 2 November 2006, this sentiment originated with Loelia Ponsonby, one of the wives of 2nd Duke of Westminster who said "Anybody seen in a bus over the age of 30 has been a failure in life". In a letter published the next day, also in the Daily Telegraph, Hugo Vickers claims Loelia Ponsonby admitted to him that she had borrowed it from Brian Howard. There is no solid evidence that Margaret Thatcher ever quoted this statement with approval, or indeed shared the sentiment.

Oh Mrs T is still with us. I can honestly say that I there is not another women still living detest more

We used to say Maggie may be a women but she is not a sister.

Most great women have songs written about them in reverence but doesn?t Mrs T have songs about condemnation of her, Elvis Costello?s Tramp the dirt down.

Simply Red also had a song which I forget the title and am sure Billy Bragg has several

One of Thatcher's failings was she thought she could play judge and jury.

It's worthy of note that, 30 year papers have revealed, that the UK gov't at the time of the hunger strikes was making overtures to address some of IRA demand in order to allow the IRA to call off the hunger strikes - these were rejected by the IRA. I assume as they preferred to have martyrs for a cause that a negotiated concession to their demands.

    • I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
