Announcement will ring across the country
Tuesday 09 March 2010
The BBC has downgraded the importance of Margaret Thatcher's death, so programmes will not be interrupted for a special announcement when she finally shuffles the mortal coil.
But they probably won't need one anyway as you will be able to hear the cheering from former pit villages 100 miles off.
A small consolation but one to be thankful for given the gutful of banal platitudes we had to endure after the death of the Queen Mother.
