1 is obviously d, Dimbleby, since that's the story. 3 has to be f, Farage and 6 c, Miliband. 4 is probably a, Major, after his comments about social mobility a few days ago. That leaves 2 and 5, and Johnson and Cameron. I'd say 2 and e, based on another line in his Guildhall speech, Therefore 5 and b, and a sign of ambition.

1 d; 2 e; 3 f; 4 a; 5 b; 6 c.

Nighttime winter means of 8 degrees C on the Costa del Sol, which is fairly close to our day time temperatures, and I'm wearing layers. Even during the day it's not going to be sunbathing weather. On the other hand, gently caress ex-pats.

I've said it before, but Bell's problem is that he tends to go a bit too far and his characters come out pretty unrealistic. Things like his portrayal of IDS as a sadistic, blood-sucking vampire - far more human and likeable than the real thing. Is Steve a crypto-Tory??
