Chancellor George Osbourne has gone off on a skiing holiday, and we are all supposed to be jealous. Personally, I feel sorry for him.
I have been to a ski resort once, and it was once too many. Where is the fun, living in a miserable climate, going off voluntarily looking for worse, colder weather which freezes you knac*ers off? The joys of skiing, I'm afraid, have always completely eluded me.
I hope he enjoys his skiing holiday as much as I did.
