You'll recognize them immediately: Hussein the minicab driver with his smelly H-reg Sierra and a wonderful new short cut to Heathrow that takes twice as long as the normal route; Andrew and Leonora, the smug couple, with their helicopter and their brilliantly successful children Nicholas and Flora; steely American businessman Crawford Nemesis III, sent from New York to restructure WorldCorp's London office and given to lecturing his fellow dinner guests on the importance of competitive recreation. And, of course, Tiffany Zeitgeist, the party blonde, who sprang to fame by wearing a fake-fur thong at a film premiere and who now has a weekly tabloid column which she dictates on her mobile.

Victoria Mather and Sue Macartney-Snape are the universally acclaimed duo who, over the past nine years, have created more than 500 social stereotypes. Their weekly column, with its unerring eye for human follies and foibles, is simply a must.
"Phew! What a relief. Obviously Victoria and Sue are keeping 'The Ageing Sports Presenter' up their haute couture sleeves for the moment. Those who are included have once again been drawn and quartered with customary brilliance." -- Desmond Lynam "Give this book to any friend or enemy. Both will howl over the prose and illustrations that brilliantly nail every last pretension. I found my worst qualities on pp. 17 and 69 while longing to be a p.48." -- Barbara Amiel
