Vitamin pills for breakfast
NZPA-Reuter London The British Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher, has said she eats vitamin pills for breakfast and had little time for relaxation — “work to me is a pleasure,” she told a television interviewer. Mrs Thatcher, speaking on an Independent Television chat show, was asked what she would do with her time when she was . no longer Prime Minister. “I hope to have a lot of time to think about that yet,” she replied. When ' retirement did comdj she said, “I shall have to be very active because that is the way I have lived.
I am doing the one job in the world which I really want to do, which I love. And work to me is a pleasure.” She could not do without her family and turned to them for advice, she told the interviewer, Michael Aspel. Apart from work, Mrs Thatcher said, she enjoyed moving furniture round, music, gardening, and “just pottering round the house. For a housewife that is a bore. For me it is a relaxation.” She said she was never ill, awoke at 6 a.m. to listen to the ne'-iis, and for breakfast had vitamin C pills with mineral water.
