That was used quite a lot in the 90'ies IIRC, often in a negative sence...

They still do, although the frequency has diminished somewhat I guess. And my sister doesn't use it for sure because her bf (being a West German herself) is from East Germany
The more curious thing is though that almost all politically relevant statistics (employment, economy, education and the like) are still divided between East and West Germany. There's still a slight sense of separation which I think is outdated in many ways.
And it's always nice to read the opinions of Mrs Thatcher. I owe a lot of respect to that lady - after all, she was one of the persons who made soft ice cream possible
