Always sad when someone's beloved dies, but she had a good innings.

[EcclesCake]

An unnecessarily catty post Mikey.

[Prudie]

Crikey, imagine if an ABer put that on one of the countless RIP threads. I'll have to do it some time and see what happens.

[mikey4444]

Eccles....I thought it rather in keeping with Private Eye's "Woman has baby"

[Mamyalynne]

RIP Margaret.


What a sour title you chose Mikey.

[Lie-in King]

Rude & uncalled for thread heading IMO, Mikey.

RIP Mrs Rhodes.

[Baldric]

R I P Mrs Rhodes.

you seem to have enjoyed this, mikey, how's that sack of spuds on your shoulder? We disagree on a lot but i never thought gloating at the death of a pensioner was really you.

[Old_Geezer]

Hardly gloating. I doubt the BBC newsite will be giving anyone I know column inches when they're gone.

[mikey4444]

I am not gloating, just putting this issue in proportion....after all, how many of you had heard of this lady up until a few minutes ago ?

R.I.P. Mrs Margaret Rhodes

[DTCwordfan]

So mikey, what are you going to come up with when Philip goes - "Greek Sailor Dies" ??

[jackthehat]

The 'Woman has baby' headline was in direct response to the Press overdrive/hysteria when Prince George was born and NOT about the birth itself.

You can compare your rather catty headline with that and it really doesn't matter how many of us knew or much cared about her.

* You can't.....

[poorclare]

Yes I had heard and read about the late Mrs Rhodes over the years.

[Mamyalynne]

I've heard of her, she has been mentioned many times during the Queen's reign and given interviews in documentaries etc.

But regardless of her standing, it's not a polite title to announce anyone's death with.

[DTCwordfan]

nah mushroom, 'Cigar reduced to ash'......

[ToraToraTora]

"I am not gloating, just putting this issue in proportion....after all, how many of you had heard of this lady up until a few minutes ago ? " - right so if we hadn't heard of someone it's ok to take the p15s over their death is it? right oh! The brutality of the left never ceases to amaze me! Anyway for what it's worth this lady has appeared in many documentaries about the HM, including when she went out on VE day. Still as you regularly show your contempt for her Majesty I'm am not surprised.

DTC....17:51.....I am still thinking about that one !
