RIP Margaret Rhodes.

Can't see the problem here....."Old Lady Dies"....seems to fit the bill.
I have never heard of her.
Seems most posters are being a little sensitive and i can never understand the R.I.P to people that either you don't know or worse still, never head of.

" the brutality of the left"...oh TTT...give it a rest,will ya! I'm left leaning, but I've heard of this lady and have been entertained many times on telly by her stories of the young queen.
I suspect, Mikey, that many have heard her as I have,and will be sad to see the end of an era.

well i doubt anyone in Spain knows her, sqad.

[Tilly2]

I expect the Queen is upset.

I grew up knowing about Margaret and used to love reading of the fun the young Princesses and her had.

'Princess nicks cash' - Sqad would understand that one....

[Sqad]

Sorry DTC...you have lost me......give me a clue.

[mikey4444]

Me too !

I've never heard of the lady who died. God rest her soul.
But I got the joke referring to "Woman has baby".
I guess you either find it amusing or you don't. :)

Spanish Royal Family and Princess Cristina re her tax fraud....

[Sqad]

DTC...ah! got it.

[mikey4444]

Er...right DTC !

What a sick, sad, bitter post from a sick, sad bitter person.

[mikey4444]

Jack...what has Sqad ever done to you ?

[jourdain2]

Just thinking that it is sad for anyone when they end up as the last of their generation and circle of friends and ER must be approaching that position. It happened to my dad; his friends and family died until only his children were left. He had no-one to chat to who had the same references and try as we might, we could not be substitutes.

Yes, this lady was old, yes she died - but she had value to some people and so I am saddened for them.

I wont tell you again about sitting on the fence, jackdaw :-)
