I have family in the Stoke area.My cousins best mate was a bit of a tearaway in his younger days.He was taken from his family in the mid 80s and placed in a childrens home for a while.When he was in there he was a victim of "pindown".One of Thatchers initiatives.Locked in a room for days with basic food.Horrible,horrible witch that should of been held accountable for issues such as this.He still suffers with the memory of it now.
My Dad hated the woman.So was fitting that when he raised a glass at her death I joined him.
