So I got a bad first impression of Margaret Thatcher (and none of her subsequent actions improved my impression of her)

    She also visited the girls' school on the other side of town that day. It was there that they had to hurriedly remove the graffiti, "Maggie Thatcher, Milk Snatcher", that one of the young ladies had scrawled on a wall.
    I also once met Margaret Thatcher who was surprisingly small and was surprisingly.... wait for it.... hold on to yours hats and your breakfast, attractive in her own way, nothing at all like she looked on the telly.
