glass after 4 glasses of wine, I'd be ROTFLMAO - (courtesy of my daughter-in-law).

A more succinct FFS might not go amiss, either.

for absent

Yes absent

Vampire Queen I'm with you all the way. During the darkest days of Thatcher, I was bringing up children on my own, paying a huge interest rate on my mortgage, saving pennies in a jar for bus fares and packed lunches. Ding dong, the witch is dead! and yes, definitely forget the obscenity of giving her a ceremonial (and hugely expensive) funeral.

LMAO laughing my arse off

I'm there again. What is LMAO? What is going on? Who is not playing? What have high heels got to do with the price of fish? Help! more .

I'm with greatnan

Now, now, Greatnan. Benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps they are not playing, anno..................

I'll post in English.

Maggie distracted the population with propaganda, credit and a war/skirmish/conflict (choose your own word).

Of course although credit was available if you got into trouble as interest rates increased it was your own fault for being a spendthrift. Lets not forget the 17+% mortgage rate and people losing their homes including council tenants who had bought their houses as part of Maggie's Right to Buy. I remember all the leaflets we received at every post from predator lenders persuading us of the benefits of home owning. They didn't tell you that if you lost your job and couldn't afford your mortgage repayments they would repossess as quickly as they could thus leaving you homeless, often still in debt and back on the council housing list in a bed and breakfast waiting for a house to come available from a now reduced housing stock.

Some get distracted and some - I suspect - play dumb.

Thank you for sharing, Nonu.
