Sunday 29th November 1981

DT [Denis Thatcher] fell asleep - PM said Denis Are you asleep - no reply ah let him snooze [reference to 28 November?]

Told PM that all HF (except Ryrie) were against the ban on Bank T/Os [Takeovers]. She waved poker and said why did GH [Sir Geoffrey Howe] allow himself to be dragooned by Gxxx [word illegible: ?Gvnr = Governor of the Bank of England?]
