I received a free Deccan Chronicle newspaper today. Not one to pass on freebies, I read through the newspaper. On the front page was a headline on a state funeral for Thatcher. Now my father, who reads every line of the newspaper and keeps abreast of the latest news on all news channels was a little bit surprised and asked me in a quiet voice - "did Thatcher die"? I also felt ashamed on missing the news, but I cautiously said, I have read online about a state funeral, but did not catch the news of her death. So as he read through the fine print he points out to me that she is hale and hearty now and the plans are for when she dies... Seriously is this a British thing? What other funerals are they planning for? What was Lady Thatcher's reaction - does she feel honored or concerned?

Already debating it...
sorry the post is not sports related but how can I bypass this...
Also in the same paper (in a section called "Chennai Chronicle") there was an report on Rooneys canceling a bash. Why oh why, should Rooney's non-soccer plans feature in an Indian newspaper?

It is on occasions like this we come to know the value of 'The Hindu".
BTW, I recollect (faintly) that Thatcher is senile.
Yes on the Hindu :-) I hope someone takes up her case if she is unable to... They are debating if she needs a state funeral or not - I am trying to find some British press that says it is unforgivable to plan a funeral and publicize it when someone is alive :-( At what age does someone qualify?
