 Liz Guterbock: The UK is so small, they’ve got to keep all their lakes in one district.

 Richard Stott: I have a suntanning addiction, so only go on holiday in winter. I went cold Turkey last year. Ginny Hogan: Everyone says your 20s are all about finding yourself. If that’s true, your 30s are about wishing you’d found somebody else.

 Amos Gill: Last year, I had a great joke about inflation. But it’s hardly worth it now.
