Extraordinarily ungenerous comments in the press about the dress worn by the prime ministers pregnant wife during the visit by President Sarkozy & his wife, illustrated in The Times by an even more extraordinarily coquettish photograph of the two women looking back over their shoulders at the cameras in what seemed to be a dimly lit night club or bar – I suspect that this was probably just the reflection of the tv lights in the shiny black door of Number 10.
I have to say that I did not think very highly of the black & white dress, but really, it was not worth so many column inches.
What someone could very usefully do however is to find a scientist who can prove, in time for a big splash next Saturday, that wearing high stiletto heels after the first trimester of pregnancy will do more damage to your baby than wine, cigarettes & bottle feeding.
