On a more serious note, personally I disliked her policies and her public persona, so much so she'd make my skin crawl when I saw her on TV.

I did actually meet her in 2000, mentioned before, sorry to bore you.

Drinks, then upstairs in a private dining room at the Carlton Club. Twelve at the table, me sat directly opposite.

I was genuinely suprised. She came across as warm, and she asked lots of questions, which appeared to be because she was interested to learn something new.

Still hate Thatcherism, but don't mind admitting she wasn't the cold, callous fish I expected for my dinner that night.
