What Was Margaret Thatcher's Nick-name?
In the 80s I remember people talking about Maggie Thatcher and she had a nick-name that rhymed with Thatcher. Not the Iron lady.

I'm guessing you mean, Maggie Thatcher, Milk Snatcher! It was used because in the 70s she was education minister and abolished free school milk in Primary schools. Up till then children got a bottle of milk a day (for nutritious reasons). It was a cost cutting exercise. She later became Prime Minister in 1979. Lots of people disliked her polkicies so she got the nick-name, Maggie Thatcher, Milk Snatcher. To this day, even after 19 years, she is either loved or hated. An example would be www.milksnatcher.com and the many Facebook groups around ( www.facebook.com ) - There are a plethora of games donated to her, which can be found at www.maggiethatcher.com and indeed songs are available on itunes that talk about her time in power or are celebrating her demise, for example -

Hope that helps.
