Half a mile undergound there are 33 Chilean miners trapped in a subterranean prison. They've been there 18 days surviving on a few spoonfuls of tuna and a biscuit each a day. The good news is they've been discovered. The bad news? It'll take around four months (!) to get them out of there. And that's assuming there's not another cave-in. Until they are reached, their only means of communication with the outside world is via a hole the size of a grapefruit. I bet they've got the subterranean homesick blues. 
Meanwhile, over in London, Oliver Spencer has just released its autumn/winter line. My favourite offering has to be the donkey jacket. It's a luxury re-interpretation (wax cotton shoulders, herringbone lining) of the donkey jacket made famous by Arthur Scargill and the miners. Let me know if I'm sounding at all frivolous.
