The poll for who you do not want to spend time with is looking quite definite so far.

With Helen Mirren...... NOT with Maggie Thatcher

1)Gloria Hunniford
2) Helen Mirren

Yes to...Judi Dench and Helen Mirren
No to ....Ann Widdecome and Margaret Thatcher

How could you forget the lovely Barbara Windsor?.

Yes - Shirley Williams

No - Margaret Thatcher and Honor Blackman

You forgot Margaret Mountford (The Apprentice), I'd love to spend a week just talking to her. One very, very intelligent bird.

I would love to have seen Joanna Lumley on the list, I have been watching her on her trip up the Nile and she is so fascinating.  She charms everybody men, women, children, young old everybody.  I bet she would be wonderful to spend a few hours with.

I agree with Joanna Lumley, a lovely woman, plus i really admire Sheila Hancock, she is a very strong woman and has ,had and still has an interesting life. Plus may i add Annie Lennox? She does so much for charity and a nice person

My fave 'older lady' is June Brown who plays Dot Cotton...a day with her would be bliss and probably pant wettingly funny....I imagine she has a tale or two to tell and always seems so lovely.



Oooooh...and Joan Collins....I'd slip her some truth serum and sit back (with tape recorder running!!!)....then I would shave her hair off to make a wig for when I am old and my hair is thinning.

Oooh Joan Collins (and Jackie) - lunch date from heaven

I could just listen to Joanna Lumley talk.

Yes Shirley williams

No Margaret Thatcher/Anne Widdecombe.

Karma....I love Joan and Jackie.....would love a lunch date with them!!!

emm...right none of them, and none of them

Yes Judi Dench

No to Margaret Thatcher

Not any of them in both categories...

Well I'd go boating with Margaret Thatcher

Course I couldn't guarantee that she would make it back to the riverbank afterwards - well not until she'd begun to float.
I believe it takes about 3 days :ninja

Other than her I think they'd all be quite interesting to chat to

Not if you tie a few bricks round her neck

I'd hate t spend 12 hours in anyone's company, family (sometimes) excepted

Oh dear Veggie  She is having a state funeral apparently , when she goes off ....

*makes a careful note of Karma's helpful suggestion"

PMSL Skylark, don't you remember the ructions we used to have on C4 everytime that subject got mentioned?
Me and Hootie got a virtual lynching for saying we were polishing our tap shoes in preperation

I remember it very well Veggie, that was some thread !!

Or threads i should say

Joan Bakewell's quite an intelligent and educated woman and I'd presume have quite witty and interesting anecdotes. 

Gloria Hunniford is so lightweight, bland and dull she'd probably do my head in prattling on about Mediterranean self catering holidays, picking up duty free (not a euphemism  ) on ocean cruises and God and suchlike. 

I suppose many would choose not to spend any time with Anne Widecombe, however, I'd thoroughly enjoy myself trying to wind the sanctimonious, humourless old bitch up - push her buttons, you might say (again, not a euphemism  ), which is pretty easy to do after all!

I'd spend time with Gloria, Helen and Margaret but not Esther Rantzen.

Yes to Judi Dench and Helen Mirren.
No to Margaret Thatcher.

Yes- Helen
NO - Maggie.

I would love to spend the day with Germaine Greer.

I may have to slit my wrists if I had to spend any time with Gloria  Hunniford.

The only time I would ever spend with MAggie Thatcher would be when I was dancing on her grave 

Funny we all have similar opinions - I put Yes to Judi Dench and no to Maggie, Gloria (just can't stand her!!) and Widdie!

*passes the tap shoe polish*

It takes all sorts to make a world so they say and I would find Ann Widdecombe and Margaret Thatcher (in her prime) two fascinating women to spend time with.  I am pretty sure Germaine Greer would bore me to tears but then you never know with people, sometimes they surprise you.

Like to spend the day with:
Gloria Hunniford
Germaine Greer
Joan Bakewell
Esther Rantzen
Helen Mirren
Honer Blackman

Not like to spend the day with:

Thatcher.

I would like to spend the day with Helen Mirren

Not like to spend a second with Margaret Thatcher

LOL, not off me you wouldn't Veggie

I'm not a champagne kind of guy but I think I will make an exception of Asda's finest when Hell finally reclaims its own.

Dancing on Thatcher's grave?  No thanks! I wouldn't want to be ankle deep in other people's spit! (probably get reported for this, oops!)
