Sarkozy ask you back to his place, then?
Dear Nick,
Enjoy your holiday, even though we will misss you. Don't worry about the MPs, unlike you they are on permanent holiday and probably only appear when they know the cameras are rolling.
Enjoy your break stuck in terminal 5, or somewhere remote waiting for your luggage to catch up with you just before you have to leave to come home!
Easter's at the earliest for decades, and there's been no consensus on where to place the holiday. Furthermore, the introduction of the six-term year for schools has begun, but not everwhere. This new system puts the two-week break beginning on 5 April. I think the problem is that, before this system is fully implented (if it is to be at all), it's chief consequence has been to allow everyone to do something different.
Nick, Hope you enjoyed your break. I was just wondering, vis a vis MPs expenses, what happens where MPs share a flat? I recall messrs Milburn,Hutton and Byers sharing a flat in 1997. They wouldn't each claim for expenses for the flat, would they? or each claim for a telly? Worth an innocent question?

Why don't you take your holidays at the same time as the MPs, or at least for part of their holidays so you could cover more of their activity?
