Saw this trailer about Margaret Thatcher this morning. The actress gets fairly close to how she was although the accent is off slightly. The main thing I remember about Margaret Thatcher though is that when she left office I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. There are a few things in your life that impact you in that way, events that when they happen you can still clearly remember your exact place in the world. As PM she had such an impact on my life, being in power basically throughout all my teenage years from being in school to at university, that when she finally left it was a relief. Not that the people that came after her were much better, she just stood out so much compared to most other people around her.
I can think of only a few other things that have happened in my life that I know exactly where I was so it seems strange that this was one of them. The most important ones of these are to do with my wife however, I can remember those very clearly.
