Where to now, Guv'?
Article Abstract:
The number of chauffeurs in the UK has fallen dramatically over recent years, with many companies now using casual drivers, employed on an hourly basis, rather than retaining permanent chauffeurs. The role of the chauffeur has become uncertain as the UK moves towards a classless society, with employers being unsure whether to treat their chauffeur as a servant or a friend. Some top government ministers and businessmen still employ a chauffeur, but it is now less common for pop or film stars to use a chauffeur.

Who would vote to be an MP's child?
Article Abstract:
It is quite common for the children of MPs to have little interest in politics. Some tended to go through a phase of rebelling against their parent's political views, but generally tried to keep a low profile, as they could be teased by their contemporaries. They have learned to keep their views to themselves and to disassociate themselves as far as possible from their parent.
