Clive on high
Article Abstract:
Living in central London, England, can be an exciting experience, according to inventor Sir Clive Sinclair. He is widely admired for his contribution to electronics, having designed items including the first pocket calculator and the first populist personal computer. However, he also has a rather negative reputation because he has often been seen with women much younger than him. Some of his inventions have not been at all successful, especially the C5 electric car, but he is still extremely wealthy.

Where there's a Will's there's a way
Article Abstract:
More and more people are becoming interested in modern British art, but often do not know how to go about purchasing it. These are the people whom Will Ramsay had in mind when he opened Will's Art Warehouse in London, England. He found that customers who do not appear very wealthy are often treated with contempt in modern art galleries, so has deliberately made his Art Warehouse very informal and relaxed. He offers pieces of art at relatively low prices, and changes the display every month.

Under cover
Article Abstract:
Appearance is extremely important to the men who work as night club bouncers, according to television journalist Donal McIntyre, who spent a year secretly filming the activities of bouncers. He adopted a new identity, and went to great lengths to befriend the most popular and influential bouncers. The investigation revealed that bouncers are actually responsible for a lot of the violence that takes place in night clubs, rather than preventing it.
