#3: The Iron Lady

This episode heavily features Margaret Thatcher, due to Brigid's wonderful impression. Interesting fact - on two occasions, I have dressed up as her.

Once for a University 80's themed party. Most people went as musicians, like Ozzy Osborne or Cher. A few people were in drag. No one else went as a politician.

The other time was to re-enact the opening of my secondary college. Mrs Thatcher opened my school when she was Education Secretary. I was asked if I'd do it as a poignant pisstake when the school was closed.

I didn't particularly enjoy either time, but it was definitely a laugh.
