Haha, fuckin hilarious. I'm gonna proclaim February 6th as Margaret Thatcher Day too.

That'll give us a year to really prepare for next year's Margaret Thatcher Day.

What should be some of the hall marks of Margaret Thatcher Day? What should go on the bunting and balloons? What sort of foods should we encourage people to make for the street parties?

Um Ackshually, they proclaimed Feb 6 as Ronald Reagan day because that was his birthday, and he used to be Governor of California, so there's at least a connection there. Thatcher's day would probably be October 13th.

The 8th of April is Thatcher day. Holidays should give happy feelings.

So sad the Toilet Day didn’t overlap whit this one
