So what do you actually do?

That's a big question. Shuffle loads of paper, fight off the paparazzi, attend interviews, press calls, few glasses of bolly and lunch `dahling'. Phew! that's enough for one day.

What do you hate most about your job ?

Look, if I'm going to be honest about answering this question, I'm then going to have to buy every copy of the newspaper.

Do you think your colleagues like you?

I have no idea, they just don't talk to me.

What's the best bit of advice you have ever been given?

Go solo After being made redundant from a long-term employer, I soon realised the full extent of my skills, expertise and capabilities which enabled me to command a much higher income, and continue the high standard of living to which I had become accustomed.

What's the best bit of gossip you have ever heard about yourself?

The best has probably not reached my ears, but I once heard that I was having an affair with my boss! How long does it take for rumours to become reality ­ I'm still waiting.

What job did you want to do when you were young and why?

I wasn't even planning on having a job

If you could have a dream job what would it be?

In truth, my dream would be not to have a job but simply to `do lunch' sweetie.

Hobbies?

Farrrrr to busy socialising for hobbies, don't you know.

Greatest influence?

Just someone known locally as the Bath Gastrognome (a clearly mysterious individual on whom she refused to be further drawn).
