England was sold ages ago by Margret Thatcher, it was in the olden days before they had ebay or am sure she would have put it on, opening bid 99p

I liked Dennis.

In one of the James Bond movies made in the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher (played by a look-alike) gives James Bond a congratulatory phone call, and while she is talking to him on the phone in the kitchen of 10 Downing Street, Dennis (played by a Dennis Thatcher look-alike) tries to sneak some food and gets his hand slapped away by her. I don't recall the rest of the movie.
