I have just read this article on the Guardian website and found it quite interesting and amusing. Not that us PR types would ever make a story up for the sake of getting news coverage, or ever try to trick journalists, but it is a funny read.
It would be interesting to see how many of our press releases have been used, I may just check the website out sometime.

I have recently started going to a weekly Zumba class - and if you have not experienced Zumba revolution that is sweeping the nation yet I definitely recommend it! It is a combination of various styles of dancing and aerobic moves, set to different songs. It is something to look forward to at the end of the day and a way to let your hair down and shake the stresses away...as well as a good form of exercise.

I spent the evening at Jamie Oliver's new Italian restaurant yesterday, as part of their training week. I can't fault the menu or the interior but I am glad it was 50% off as in my opinion the food did not vary in quality much more than a few of the other Italian restaurants in the city centre. The staff were all friendly and trying their hardest, but a but more confidence is still needed, which I'm sure will come with experience. I'm sure it will do really well as the city definitely has a gap in the market for a celebrity restaurant.
Dianne has been invited to the launch of Carluccio's restaurant later this month so look out for her review...
