The latest twist on the pampering concept is spa parties, where a group of friends take over an entire spa.

The Feminist Me says that a woman's right to her own body should be inviolate at all times, free from fear of peeping paps.

Contrasting British servicemen and women with the appeasers, it is hard not to laugh. Are these two sides even the same species, let alone the same nationality?
