Oh wow that was well written, the description of Grace was well done, I have a picture of her now. A little fog here in my Waikato valley tonight! What would the Waikato be without fog!!

I was. I loathed Thatcher then and still do, but given my mood and the mood of those around me at the time I doubt if I'd vote Labour and I doubt if enough would. I'd probably tell Whitelaw or whoever took over ''Go back and do it right this time'' Regards Hugh
