It doesn't ring any bells...James Callaghan? Callaghan was alright actually. But there are echoes of the current PM as well. We'd have had soft landing to our industrail base and the crash which Thatcher precipitated. Same choice now I reckon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,288 Posted January 18, 2010 John Tyler, the 10th President of the USA died on this day in 1862. Triva: Tyler married twice, fathering fifteen children and some of his offspring were only infants when he died, aged 72. His thirteenth child Lyon Gardiner Tyler also fathered children when in his seventies, two of whom are still alive. There are no deceased Presidents, Prime Ministers or Heads of State of any country who died earlier than John Tyler that have surviving grandchildren. *Waits for someone to insert tumbleweed GIF* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
