Here in the Cotswolds so many middle-class women are snorting cocaine. I'm shocked at what these mums REALLY get up to behind closed doors - everyone can see the damage
The 50-year-old man in front of me was dressed as a pirate and gesticulating madly. He was incredibly talkative but also very dull. For the past half hour he had been describing his 'very successful' – his words – property business. He appeared to think his bragging amounted to flirting.

Ethical developers rebuild property sector's reputation
It's a trying time to be in the property business. The government looks set to miss its much-trumpeted 1.5 million housebuilding target, firms are struggling to attract skilled tradespeople and last week seven of the UK's biggest homebuilders offered to pay a record £100 million fine to end an inquiry by the Competition and Markets Authority. While property development has long suffered an image problem — from incompetent amateurs inspired by primetime TV shows to rapacious builders devouring greenfield with poor-quality identikit estates — in reality it is a foundation of the economy. The sector provides housing, workplaces, leisure spaces, infrastructure and jobs ranging from chief executives and surveyors to carpenters and technology specialists. Now a growing wave of ethical developers is attempting to rebuild the sector's tarnished reputation.
