25 years is a generation. The children born as Margaret Thatcher was taking office are now grown up
Aaaaaaaaargh. Am I really grown up?
It was bad enough yesterday when someone on the radio asked 'where were you 25 years ago?' and I instinctively thought 'not born' and then realised that this was not in fact true as I was 2 months 10 days old.
