    Well I can tell you there are none named after her up norf

    or south

    No-one wants to live on Margaret Thatcher Road
    After Margaret Thatcher died just over a year ago, Conservatives in her old constituency of Finchley wanted to recognise her contribution to politics by naming a road after her.

    Strange, seeing that Spain supports Argentina regarding the Falklands.

    It's a bit like having a street in London named after Alex Salmond!

    If Thatcher was so great Les, the country wouldn't be in the state it is today. Phoney Tony may have played a role in our demise but it was Thatcher who got the ball rolling.

    Not letting you have that one. I counter your point with the fact if Maggie had been in charge we would not have as many illegal immigrants and we would be a stronger more patriotic nation with nothing like the debt caused by Labour.

    For the sake of here we go again syndrome I won't argue politics on this thread. It's all been done before.

    I propose in the spirit of friendship, if there's a "Yes" vote in Scotland, we present to the city of Glasgow, to have erected in the centre, a statue of Maggie, which will on the hour sing "Three Lions"
