    Can you imagine what he'd have said, if someone had told him to put his cigar out, you can't smoke in here, health and safety you know

    Don't think too many would buy Thatcher the Milk Snatcher's stamp. I will buy Harold Wilson's stamp though. The only PM to say no to the yanks. Oh Ded, Tony is doing very well for himself and Cherie must have been a good lawyer to earn her millions. . Rolling in money. .

    I agree, taking the milk away (then) was wrong.

    But...looking at the state of a lot of schoolkids now, extra nourishment is the last thing they need.

    I would imagine Margaret Thatcher stamps will be the most popular!

    Totally disagree most kids did not drink their 1/3 pint of lukewarm milk-it was disgusting.

    Made no difference to anyone.

    Redundant Graham - like a lot of other jobs. But that's the Tory way. .

    C'mon Andy, stop being so aggressive toward the Tories, it seems that you've become obsessed with being that way!
