Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979, that's over 30 years ago I think. ?.

This question should separate the men from the boys, as the saying goes.

Right people, "gloves off".

On your marks, get set, go.....................

Someon's bound to bite - they won't be able to resist! hmm

Notso Thu 27-Aug-15 16:37:49

Resist!

Elegran Thu 27-Aug-15 16:55:14

Seconds out!

Alea Thu 27-Aug-15 16:59:21

Bull, red rag. No doubt there will be takers

What exactly is the point of starting a bunfight ?
I see OP omits to express an opinion or ask a question. Might start my own thread.look out for it.

We contributed our thoughts on Maggie when she died.

Nuff said!

Luckygirl Thu 27-Aug-15 17:27:42

This has been discussed to death - I think we know where most people stand.

nigglynellie Thu 27-Aug-15 17:33:15

Certainly not joining in this discussion!

Jane10 Thu 27-Aug-15 17:39:47

Alea 'bunfight'? That's a tea party where I come from. confused

She wore those blouses with pussy-cat bows and they became very popular at the time, I remember.

I had one, it was white with small rust-coloured spots all over it, which went very nicely with my rust-coloured suit.
From C&A as far as I remember.

I did notice that those blouses with pussy-cat bows are all the rage again now.

Alea Thu 27-Aug-15 18:13:58

Which brings us neatly round to kittens again rosequartz! smile

rosequartz Thu 27-Aug-15 18:25:01

kittens ?? confused

I can't remember, it's been a busy day

Ana Thu 27-Aug-15 18:26:25

The other Contentious Thread, rosequartz! grin

TerriBull Thu 27-Aug-15 18:28:36

Margaret Thatcher has been discussed adinfinitum on Gransnet, at great length, particularly after her death. She divides opinion, this we all know, you will find posters are entrenched in those feelings. To have yet another thread about MT is beyond monotonous.

rosequartz Thu 27-Aug-15 18:30:33

I've been out all day.

Just as well perhaps.

trisher Thu 27-Aug-15 18:33:39

I try not to-think of her that is!

Ana Thu 27-Aug-15 18:36:28

No, you haven't missed much rosequartz, it isn't really a contentious thread - unless you have a cat phobia, of course.

MiniMouse Thu 27-Aug-15 19:04:00

Is there a virtual room where Questiontime and our Other Friend could go and discuss Mrs T's love of plimsolls?

rosequartz Thu 27-Aug-15 19:12:44

I won't go there ( to the other thread, not thoughts on MT)
I don't have a cat phobia exactly but loathe them coming into my garden killing birds and pooing everywhere

My DC seem to love them .....

More of a dog lover myself, however DDs have dogs as well smile

Oh !! Wrong thread!!

I didn't realise Mrs T wore plimsolls, I had her down as more of a Vans person myself wink
