Happy Christmas Eve!
Mince pies in the oven, presents under the tree...and the number 1, undisputedly best Christmas banger of all time 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' blaring out across the house.

The Daringman café in rue de Flandre is set to close. Unusually, it appears to have been built during WW2. Originally known as the Ballon du Centre (a reference to boxing rather than football).

I'm on my way to deliver the Christmas lecture for the Deutsche Britische Gesselschaft Ruhr.
My topic is "Faces of Modern Britain". I am going to try and paint a picture of the UK in the 21st Century through the stories of ten inspirational British voices.
But who are those ten people?
