CAROL Thatcher has always been a head-on, in-your-face type of person and her memoir of her life as the “Milk Snatcher’s daughter” is honest and forthright.

Maggie naturally hogged the headlines, her father hogged the gin bottle and brother Mark made a pig’s ear out of everything, while Carol sat back and observed.

And her observations are told with the wit and honesty you would expect from a “Queen of the Jungle”.
