Yep. I was living in NE England when Thatcher died. I knew of entire trains who cheered when they heard the news and people in Scotland having parties.

I also think people forget when you're a kid how glamorous foreigners can seem.

Yep, I know she didn't answer rather than say she didn't have it on her, just curious if this were to happen and you seriously had no ID on you.

What if you don't have ID on you? I sometimes leave my wallet at home when I go to work so I can't be lazy and get the bus home or buy lunch (I live about 30 minutes walk from home so it's no big deal). Were I stopped in a situation like that I really wouldn't have anything on me apart from a keychain with a lanyard…

Eclampsia is hella scary (one of the few deaths on Call the Midwife was from eclampsia).

I think Bridesmaids sums up beautifully the financial issues with said role. (Hell, even the bride starts to freak out that her over-enthusiastic maid of honour has created a wedding her family can't afford!)

My collegue was just complaining about this: she's a master travel planner (can do nice places at a really good price) and as a bridesmaid had sorted out an amazing deal for the bride, but the bride's *workmates* then harranged her into an expensive getaway that is so much more expensive that many of the other…

Not a safety thing exactly, but on UK trains there are usually quiet coaches (usually B in standard class and K in first class on East Coast). Often the conductors just say those letters over the intercom, possibly with a "B for Bravo" and "K for kilo".

Or they're massive Doctor Who fans and it's for River Song and Rose Tyler!

Why I don't wear foundation (apart from laziness/likelihood of it ending up on clothes/fingers/computer keyboard since I tend to touch my face): I have freckles and LIKE MY FRECKLES. I do try and wear tinted sunscreen in summer though.

Hey 'Merica, welcome to the rest of the world. (Particularly Australasia where I'm from, where it's not at all standard to tip).

For a second I thought this was going to rank Home Improvement episodes.

At least birth certificates now ask the mother's occupation!

Fair catch. I guess I was trying to say that the media were legitimate in calling her Princess Diana.

SHE'S NOT A PRINCESS SHE'S A ROYAL. If you do want to pull the royal thing, remember she's the Duchess of Cambridge. She doesn't get to be a princess as they're too far down (Princess Diana was married to the heir apparent which is why she got the title).

The Village People moment? The whole thing has a real 90s vibe.

It's sad she's hidden, cos her bit is the best part (ie only redeeming part) of the song!

I <3 all those crappy 90s videos with little-to-no-budget :)

Yeah, pic to remind everyone

Just quitting d0esn't help: someone else takes the job. That's what unions and public outcries are for. Similar things apply to the whole unpaid intern saga happening: yes, the people could quit, but it's the system that needs to change.
