Good news on the financial front. And well done Alisdair Darling for being courageous enough to agree to help the banks with massive amounts of taxpayer's money and not be put off the small matter of it being their own fault that they've lost all that money. I hear people say, “but what about the poor?” Well the banks want to help the poor too, you know. They've being trying to help them for years by lending them astronomical sums. How were the banks to know that the poor didn't have any money to pay it back?
And we must also consider the question of indirect benefits. If city bankers don't get their bonuses then they can't spend them – the knock on effects would be incalculable. The high class escort business would be devastated! They've cut the price of a bottle of Bollinger and it's already hideously easy to get a table at all of the most exclusive restaurants in the City!
On the subject of food, that Nigella Lawson makes a wonderful sticky tart! Lady Collar agrees, although she really prefers ice cream. She told me how much she enjoys licking the nuts off a large Neapolitan.
I do try to stay off the puddings, however – I have to watch my waistline! The subject has been the talk of the office recently as my PA, Jemima, says that her boyfriend has put on a little weight lately and now has a pronounced pot belly. Apparently he has some pretty weird theories to explain it but she isn't convinced. She says she just can't see where he's coming from.
