10008 years that must be the longest term of office ever, makes thatcher seem positively trivial!!!

Just seen my mistake- put an extra 1 before the 1982- oh my gosh!! How funny!! Loved the response, too ;-) !! Posted off the Saturday GK crossword on Saturday 1st class as found some answers here, some elsewhere online or in my puzzlers lists book plus some where already in this rusty brain of mine ;-)! Bless you all for helping!! The only crosswords do not ask for help with are the prize cryptic ones- as like to stretch myself with the word patterns!! Only managed to do 3/4's of the Saturday cryptic yet maybe next week will be better! Ciao for now, Beatrice ;-)
