I heard rumours that she was blackmailing him into staying with her. Apparently their bedroom antics ran to the, how shall we say, 'unorthodox', and she had the photographs and scars to prove it....

I was walking to Marble Arch tube just after the hail stopped. It was amazing. MA tube was queueing to get in as people tried to get underground out of the 'weather'. There were dozens of tourists in ...

I've been saying this for years, so I'm glad to see that there's a government report to confirm this. Although equally disappointed to see people slamming this as whitewash from the PC brigade etc etc...

Far be it from me that I should defend Ken, but I guess there's a first time for everything... This story doesn't really hold much water. £16,000 does sound like a lot to splash on "fine dining", but...

Quite right, though the deposit protection scheme was a big improvement, unfortunatly as they use the assured shorthold value cap (which dates to 1991) its basicaly irrelevent for anyone sharing a big...

Used to have a market stall there. Wonderful road - much more exciting than Portobello itself. Best place in London for Moroccan spices and cookware....

I am amused in an exasperated kind of way that last week's temperatures of a whole 30 degrees resulted in a weather warning and so did the thunderstorms that followed. Warning: some weather may occur....

You sound young and idealistic. Nothing wrong with that. London contains far too many cynical old crabs like me. That's why it's so important that we can crawl away to more suitable locations; Bexh...
