Mrs Thatcher

The water cooler talk in the office today is about Mrs Thatcher, who died yesterday.

It is a sign of how youthful my office is that a good minority of my colleagues were born after 28th November 1990 when she left office. I suspect that an even smaller number of staff were born before she became Prime Minister on 4 May 1979.

How old does that make me feel? I would rather use the word experienced.

This montage was on Twitter last night. Whatever one might think of her, I think the Socialist Worker's headline is in very poor taste: the Mirror or Morning Star are more appropriate. I can't decide what I think of the Sun's headline: not much, I think.
