I remember she rescued us from being 'the poor man of Europe'...gave the inflation-causing, idle (remember British Leyland sleepers ?) commy trade unions a kick up the backside, put two fingers up to the Common Marketeers, and tackled the 25% inflation rate that she inherited from 'old' Labour.
No wonder the rest of the world had so much respect for her.
I have a GOOD memory and I was making good money then. So much so that I was able to put down the deposit on my new house in 1979 with 2 weeks wages.
People forget that 'New' Labour inherited a country in good shape in 1997.
They then set about taking it down the road to bankruptcy, permitted mass immigration of spongers and criminals, propagated political correctness, handed over our independence to the EU, turned into a bunch of hypocrites and feathered their own nests as they robbed us blind.

It's a travesty it's all true.
