The Editor of this newspaper has returned to Bahrain sporting a smartly-trimmed beard after ‘resting his face’ on holiday.

That’s not the only thing he needed to rest after being dragged around London on a shopping trip with his wife and teenage daughter celebrating her 15th birthday.

As the dynamic duo set about inspecting every item in yet another three-storey clothes store, our irritable and exhausted leader decided to wait outside Topshop. As the minutes dragged on into hours, a concerned security guard, took several looks at the unshaven, troubled (marching up and down, cursing under his breath) man and asked him to ‘move on’ … offering directions to a local homeless shelter!

“After the money they’ve spent, it’s a wonder I’m not a XXXXX vagrant,” the Editor was heard muttering.
