    I know a fair few living in the town I do and often bump into them at the strangest locations (outside the tea rooms in Harrods was the last memorable occasion). Unfortunately I didn't think straight when I filled in the forms when the girls first went to school.

    They should all be at Appleby at the moment so don't claim to be one this week as it won't wash.
