I'm a total technophobe. What is wrong with paper and pen? I was delighted when I learnt the word 'Luddite,' as I thought it described me perfectly.

The government has got to do something to help independent businesses.

It's all very well setting up your own brand of face cream or exercise wear - but Christ, it's so shallow.

I'd never go under the knife because I have a phobia of needles.
