@lindsaymathieso @kellro36 Might Liz Kendall MP (former Labour Min for Dept of Work and Pensions) be a member of this wealthy elite?
Kendall lives with Old Etonian and global head of multi-asset solutions at Santander Asset Management, James Ind. She lives in Notting Hill in a home purchased for £3.9M

@sp2a @bbcmtd To be fair, BBC2 had an entire evening given over to the great man. Take a look on iPlayer.

@bbcmtd Apparently he doesn't play the leccy guitar on stage anymore. Just strums an acoustic one. He looked lost without his guitar.he should have just had one round his neck but you don't know what other injuries he might have. He moved slowly. Still a legend. Loved you Jeff & the band

@GeologyPage A classic pyroclastic flow, which fortunately erupted and flowed in a safe direction.

@rob3047 Tend to read, watch a DVD, watch Skygo or BBC iPlayer if WiFi is good enough, or chat to each other. Play card games - crib, or play dominoes.
