And I can certainly remember the days when Thatcher was PM. I can remember when, as an 11 year old I came home to be told by my mum that Thatcher had resigned. I can remember thinking how funny it was that the same person who had been PM when I was born was only now leaving office.

I can remember the enormous amount of loathing virtually everyone in Sheffield other then my parents seemed to have for her. I can remember the anger over the Poll tax, unemployment and so on.

But if it's any comfort I think that the real worry about what people remember is still with the Tories. It's a lot harder for them to raise the bogeymen of the 70's with anyone under 30 like myself. And one of the major things still used to advance Thatcherism to this day is the inflation and union trouble of the 70's.
