Thanks to Martin at Blogging4Merton for a bit of nostalgia whilst reading Bloggers4Labour on my commute in to work*. Where were you on 22 November 1990, when Maggie announced her resignation?

I was at 6th form college, in my A level politics class, when we heard cheering coming through the wall from the class next door. A few seconds later, one of the maths teachers burst into our classroom to announce “She’s gone!”. He was breathless, after he’d been on a tour of most of the campus already, wanting to be the first to bring the news to everyone. Off he went to the next classroom, and the cheering started in ours.

*Thanks to some quirk of RSS (or maybe my phone’s cacheing software), his post was displayed a week late, so apologies for my (characteristically) getting to this a long while after everyone else!
