Autumn is here! I’ve dug out my favourite leaf-kicking boots and my Matrix-style long leather coat (which looks hilarious at 5’3), scowled at the new influx of students talking loudly and importantly in my local coffee shop (they’ll keep), and found last year’s safety goggles for this year’s conker wars …
It’s not often that I shake my head and say ‘Those poor police officers’. But the phrase has been forced from me today, on hearing the news that police in Newquay have been forced to deal with mankinis. So much so that they’re now banned in the Cornish town.

So. You’ve come all the way to Britain – or all the way to London – for the Olympics and you’re fully enjoying the party atmosphere that’ll be happening in the city from this weekend. (Or in Albert Square from Monday, if Eastenders is anything to go by.) But with …
