Two women born the same year
Two powerful women in a world dominated by men
Two women meeting every Tuesday afternoon to discuss...
Biscuits; Apartheid; crockery; The miners strike; pets...particularly dogs and horses; The Falklands; wets (politicians...usually male); President Regan (and Nancy); Jam; Zimbabwe

The Queen has met with every Prime Minister every week that she has been in London since coming to the throne in 1952. The meetings are not minuted and there are no other persons present so no one really knows what was said.
