This is the trouble, you see. She leans too far forward with a sponge roller, she topples out of her walking frame.

That's the last of the port. Do you fancy a Tia Maria, or have I to go down to the cellar with my varicose veins?

I've decided British people all have faces like baked potatoes. Or scones. Or plasticine modelled by someone who lost interest halfway through.

You're not just doing their hair. You're listening to their problems, sharing their worries, advising them on difficulties, and for an extra ninety pence, pushing back their cuticles.

There's millions of ways to get on television. You could hang around a shopping centre and see if Esther Rantzen offers you a tray of peculiarly shaped vegetables.
