Readers of Sunday's Pendennis column might remember (it is, after all, only Monday afternoon) that Jeremy Clarkson's mother is writing her memoir. She says that her claim to fame is not having mothered the motormouth alone, but that she made the first Paddington Bear toys at the same time.

Several tabloids had a go at coming up with his possible manifesto. But any further suggestions are much appreciated.
Meanwhile, standby for Mrs C senior's revelations of what he used to say to her when she told him it was bed-time.
