As a very straight-talking and greedy foodie, I tend to inspect restaurant menus with a beady eye for any gimmicks. I don’t want teeny tiny portions of over-priced ‘signature’ dishes either. Nor do I want a dizzying menu with too many options. Put simply, I want great ingredients that are balanced and yes, that look …
Collette Walsh – Liverpool Biennial 2012
When people think of Liverpool, they often think of football, The Beatles and of course, the well-known Liverpudlian sense of humour.

Collette Walsh – BBC 5 Live: Has The X Factor Had Its Day?
Lots of lovely feedback from 5 Live (late night show on Sunday) regarding The X Factor. I have always championed the crop of talent and reality TV shows that have proved hugely popular during recent years, but even I was bored watching X Factor on Saturday. The format seemed so tired and the judging panel …
BBC Breakfast – VT – Benedict Cumberbatch and ‘Posh Bashing’
Here’s this morning’s VT from BBC Breakfast – myself and the lovely Diana Mathers, etiquette expert and CEO at English Manners, had a great debate! Just to reiterate, I consider Benedict an excellent actor – however, his comments were not especially well-judged. Am sure he will continue to be a HUGE success and that he …
