SATIRE
IS IN
When the state of the nation takes such an unequivocal
nose dive, the only thing we can do as Britons is
poke a little fun at ourselves.
So, after covering such weighty political issues
as David Cameron's 'Blair-like'
mannerisms; Westminster's escalating expense
bills and Alistair Darling's doomsday budget;
Schweppes
have given us the perfect way to get a seat on the
London Underground System.

 Museums at Night
Part of this year's Europe-wide La Nuits des Musées festival, our most famous and obscure museums alike are going bump in the night this weekend. So whether it's 1940s boogying on a battleship or gaslit surgery Victorian-style, late night cookery books or a champagne and candlelight tour of John Soane's Museum, if you're feeling even a little low on the culture scale, tonight is the night. And last night. Oh, and technically the night before that too.

Selfridges 100th Birthday
We're loving Selfridges 100th Birthday celebrations and are swooning over Giles' googly eyes and pantone 109 carrier bags. But if you can't afford yellow Choos (£485) and fancy something less alcoholic than Absolut's tribute vodka (£39.99), we'd plump for Coca Cola's limited edition centenary bottles.

No.20
I've always found Mark Fuller an intriguing figure. Famously outspoken, the man behind eighties club Embassy now cuts a swathe in his posh West London chippy Geales and his boutique Berkshire hotel Inn On The Green, usually somewhat conspicuously in black leather biker gear.
At least in his latest creation, Sanctum Soho, the groovy new hotel designed to attract music and media types, he doesn't stick out quite so much. Fuller and some fellow fat cats have spent £10 million here creating 'crash pad' rooms, designed with 'after-party sex liaisons' in mind and filling the mini-bars with massage oils and saucy scanties.
But despite all that Fuller also knows a thing or two about food and always manages to find the right chef for the job. So, although the hotel might not be quite my thing, the food at No.20 most certainly is.
Former L'Escargot chef Gavin Austin is a dab hand at Brit comfort food with a twist. A zingy prawn cocktail is heaving with juicy king prawns and comes with a nice salsa of avocado and tomato in the bottom of the glass, the lemon sole with spinach and nut butter is just right and puddings like lemon sponge with ginger ice cream really hit the spot.
The room lends itself more to dinner than breakfast or lunch so go in the evening and maybe you'll be tempted to get a room.
