Karren Brady (Vice Chairman of the greatest club in the world, West Ham United) paid her tribute by quoting Baroness Thatcher, while its a good quote KT was left speechless by the first reply to it:
KT was once advised that "saying nothing when you have nothing nice to say is good manners", wish others would take that on board sometimes.......
American President Theodore Roosevelt had a daughter named Alice, who was a socialite of the first order (and was so much of a handful that he once remarked, "I can govern the country, or I can control Alice, but I can't do both!"). Miss Roosevelt was reputed to have said to all her gossipy friends, "If you have nothing nice to say about anybody-- sit next to me!" Alice would go on to marry the Republican Leader in the House, so her "caustic" tongue didn't "cost" her, so to speak. But I suppose when you're rich and your Daddy is powerful, you get away with bloody murder. You and I couldn't do it, and that's who the advice is meant for.
