I asked Edwina Currie to come to a presentation dinner I organised for the Lady Truckers Club, and she did. She supports women's endeavours to become equal players in the workplace. <br /><br />I have met Amar Latif on two occasions. He is the founder of Traveleyes, a company which organises holidays for blind and visually impaired people, he himself is blind. I have been on two of his holiday. He didn't set out to be a celebrity, it's just how it's happened. He has done a lot of good work for charity, and a he's a thoroughly nice guy.

Apart from anything else I do not watch 'celebrity' programmes and the one bit I saw on the news of "I'm a Celebrity in the Jungle" or whatever its called definitely decided me that it was not for me. I suppose the reality is that celebrities can get people to donate so it's a commercial decision for the charities and the TV companies can make good money, provide something obviously a lot of people watch and 'celebrities' get to feel good, raise their profile etc etc. However what made me comment was the fact that today I was preparing dinner for friends tonight and also had a mass of ironing to do. So as I was kitchen-bound I decided that, instead of listening to music as is my usual habit, I would watch 'Living on The Veg'. What did I discover? Celebrities. It made me wonder whether the celebrity is paid and there to tempt in viewers or is there to raise his or her profile on the back of a (hopefully) successful television cookery show.
