(Very) modern manners

IT HAS aristocratic origins, allegedly invented by the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who asked servants to bring him meat between bread to the card table. But the snack is not good enough for Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone, 33. ‘My wife is a snob and has never eaten a sandwich in her life,’ claims her husband, Sam Palmer. When the ex-car salesman showed her a photo of his sandwich she said: ‘That’s filth. Don’t come near me.’ He reflects: ‘It is amazing we’re still married.’
