Diary of a Notting Hill nobody – 26 January 2008

Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 26 January 2008

Monday

Am engaged on top secret mission — the accidental snapping by a tabloid photographer of Sam nipping out for late-night essentials on the mean streets of west London! We first planned for her to be caught buying fair-trade mozzarella in Partridges on Gloucester Road but Jed said this wasn’t gritty enough. So she’s going to go somewhere really downbeat in North Kensington — with security to make sure she doesn’t get mugged, of course. We can’t leave safety to chance. Not with London in the grip of a crime wave, and all of Britain beaten down and driven to acts of desperation by the lash of recession.

Must say, this Northern Rock business is causing considerable problems. Spent hours trying to get Wonky Tom on his own so he could explain bonds to me, and may have left him with the impression that I fancy him.
