Obviously she was a very influential figure at a time of great turmoil and she has always been one of those &#8216;Marmite&#8217; characters; you either like or loathe her. This blog is certainly not a soapbox to view political opinions on Thatcher but merely to make a point that despite making many decisions which angered and destroyed the working classes she also created a huge stock market boom, making the rich very rich indeed.<\/p>\n<p>A new group of professionals were created known as &#8216;YUPPIES&#8217; or &#8216;young upwardly mobile professionals&#8217;, who made huge bonuses by shifting money created by privatisation around the world. The era was known as &#8216;Loadsamoney&#8217; and the team at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.speedyreg.co.uk\">Speedy Reg<\/a> have no doubt that a lot of personalised number plates were sold during this time as &#8216;Yuppies&#8217; splashed the cash in a bid to be noticed and boost their &#8216;street cred&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>If Margaret Thatcher had been a &#8216;Yuppie&#8217; there is no doubt that she would have owned a private registration and indeed a nice set of wheels to go with it. Speedy Reg have found the perfect registration to remember the Iron Lady, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.speedyreg.co.uk\/girls-names-number-plates\">&#8216;MAG 8Y&#8217;<\/a>, the nickname she was sometimes referred to by the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; There has been a lot of talk in the media over the past two days about the recent death of former MP Baroness Margaret Thatcher.
