I agree with @Hostafan1, @Punkdoc and @Yviestevie . I was a teenager for a lot of the Thatcher years so I suppose somewhat shielded from the worst of it, but we bought our house here in Doncaster in 1988 and there was still a great deal of hardship in the mining communities around here. Memories are long, and she's still generally reviled.
PS Hello Forkers! I don't generally post in here but I just had to add to this discussion.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Morning all. Winter wonderland here on Surrey/Sussex/Hampshire border, 12cm of snow overnight. Bit of a shock for @chicky after a month in the Caribbean. Hope it doesn't disrupt hospital visits for @Dovefromabove
Snowing here but nothing is sticking. I haven't got the boys until Saturday so I'm hoping it's ok by then. Wallpaper arrived today for the bathroom and the decorator came to take a look so just waiting for a quote and date. I still need to get the paint but no rush. Glad to hear that things are looking up a bit Dove, hugs for you and Wonky.

No snow yet, but down to minus 6 overnight. Have to admit, I am still in bed.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
I ♥ my garden.
I might add, that the man I have met that worked for her tried to describe her as an Iron Lady with a soft centre......
Snow is now falling outside. Glad my blood test at the surgery was earlier.
Just a bit of computer work to do and then I can watch rubbish on tv and do some beading.
