Dear Robin and Derek,
I don't know if you noticed this obituary in The Independent last
November http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/sir-john-page-loyal-conservative-backbencher-known-for-his-trenchant-views-1026183.html
I wonder how much this conservative hero with his friend, Margaret
Thatcher, have cost the UK – so far – when they conspired 'to save the
pint and the mile for Britain' as one of their finest achievements.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin
