‘ONE million pounds won’t get you far. You couldn’t buy a nice house with that.’

‘DOES playing the local state school count as charity work?’

‘IT’S not a holiday if it’s in England.’

‘I ONLY date boys from Eton, Radley or Harrow.’ ‘DO I look like I fly economy?’ ‘I GO on pre-holidays to get a tan for my real one.’

‘I’M FROM the North.’ ‘Oh, whereabouts in North London?’ ‘THIS is my casual tweed.’ ‘COLDPLAY are playing my dad’s birthday party . . . so I will just have to deal [with it].’
