In our time, no books, no films, have enjoyed such a dazzling international success as the James Bond stories. But the impact was not instantaneous. When ....
Members clubs in the age of Covid, from Groucho to Boisdale The Groucho Club (Getty Images) Are you clubbable? Some people are, fiercely, while others disdain the whole idea. It is thought men are more clubbable than women, though that may not be supported by facts. In any event, if you are what PG Wodehouse would have called a clubman, you will be eagerly awaiting Monday 17 May and the reopening of indoor hospitality. On that day, too, most members’ clubs will finally reopen their doors. Why do we join clubs? One could point to any number of factors facilities, services, convenience, interests but in truth it’s about exclusivity. We join partly to associate with people with whom we have something in common. It could be profession, political leaning, hobby or simply ....
The Female Ambassadors’ Club – how women (finally) took over the diplomatic service As Menna Rawlings has been posted to Paris, for the first time, all key British roles abroad are now held by females 30 April 2021 • 5:53pm Clockwise, from top left: Susan le Jeune d’Allegeershecque, Jill Gallard, Caroline Wilson, Dame Karen Pierce, Menna Rawlings, Dame Barbara Woodward How times have changed.

It wasn’t until 1987 – when Margaret Thatcher had been Prime ....
When Hugo Vickers was commissioned in 1980 to write the authorised biography of Cecil Beaton, he was granted privileged access to the photographer’s friends and staff and all his private diaries and letters. Many of Beaton’s circle had been the ‘Bright Young Things’ of the 1920s. Others were louche aristocrats, renowned former beauties, movie stars and writers, not to mention Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother. By then in their 70s and 80s, most welcomed the chance to gossip. Over the next five years, Vickers asked them about everything from Cecil’s homosexuality to his extraordinary costume designs for My Fair Lady and his bizarre love affair with Greta Garbo. Many of their recollections duly appeared in Vickers’ best-selling biography. ....
In the Herald: March 17, 1921 We’re sorry, this service is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Dismiss Normal text size Unemployed who refuse work Mr. George Cann, Minister for Labour and Industry, is frankly sceptical of the bona-fides of a large number of the unemployed who take part in the daily demonstrations in the city: “It is clear that a number of the unemployed do not want work. They either refuse work when it is found for them, or after accepting it do not remain long on the job.” 200 men had left their employment in the past fortnight. Miscellaneous casualties ....
