There's a story about Margaret Thatcher during the early years of her prime ministership when she took her cabinet chiefs to a restaurant.

The waiter asked her what she would like to order.

She said: "I'll have the beef".

Yes, said the waiter. "And the vegetables?"

"They will have the beef too".
