As worn by the sad, the old and Jeremy Clarkson
Article Abstract:
Sales of jeans in the UK have declined from 22 million pairs a year to 18.8 million pairs a year, according to AC Neilsen, with the value of the market falling from 609.5 million pounds sterling in 1996 to 1997 to 561.2 million pounds sterling in 1998. The declining popularity of jeans is partly due to the fact that they are favoured by middle-aged men, and thus rejected by the young, and partly due to the arrival of combat trousers. Young people who do wear jeans are not adverse to fakes, and are particularly attracted to high-fashion brands such as Evisu.

'I can't help how my face looks.' (television presenter Jeremy Paxman)(excerpt from interview in the 'New Statesman')(Interview)
Article Abstract:
It is better to be criticised for being too independent than for being too compliant, according to television presenter Jeremy Paxman. He is generally rather cynical about politicians, and has been particularly negative about the run-up to the forthcoming general election in the UK. However, he objects to people claiming that he sneers at the people he interviews. He prefers to state that he is cynical, and sometimes incredulous. He admires people who work in very difficult social conditions, rather than politicians.

All sugar and no gossip
Article Abstract:
Getting up very early in the morning does not necessarily have a negative impact on your health, according to newsreader Phil Gayle. He remains healthy and relaxed, even though he gets up a 4.30am and does not really eat properly until 2pm. He does not eat breakfast, but often eats chocolate croissants, as he likes to eat chocolate early in the morning. He is unwilling to speculate about the relationship between fellow presenters Johnny and Denise.
