Factual error: In the medicine cabinet, when Margaret is emptying it, a box of Rite-Aid Bandages is visible. Rite-Aid is an American chain of drug stores, not in the UK. And the Brits call the product plasters.
The Iron Lady (2011)
1 factual error
Directed by: Phyllida Lloyd
Starring: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent, Richard E. Grant, Alice da Cunha, Susan Brown
Other mistake: In the scene where Margaret is wearing a bright-blue dress and a woman is sewing a button onto it while about six men stand around and wait, the woman finishes sewing the button on, but keeps on going, even though it's fixed. The whole thing takes ten times longer than it should.
Margaret Thatcher: Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, because they become actions. Watch your actions, because they become habits. Watch your habits, because they become your character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become.
