Beach huts have become a symbol of the British coast, and some are so popular with Brits that they are willing to fork out hundreds of thousands of pounds just to own one. They were originally used to produce clothes as well as other beachside implements, but not intended to be lived in when they first appeared in the mid-18th century. However, a recent series of luxurious beach huts has tried to reimagine the tiny colorful shed-like buildings into something more luxurious, giving people a place to stay overnight. A group of huts in Bournemouth recently went on auction for more than £400,000, though others in the UK's varied from £100,000 to £300,000.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Has King Charles commenced the rehabilitation of Andrew? The last time I checked, it was a student at the University of Leopol

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Has King Charles already commenced the rehabilitation of Andrew? On Sunday, he appeared at St George's Chapel in Windsor, Ontario, alongside the Princess Royal and just behind Charles. This is in comparison to Christmas, when the disgraced duke was compelled to linger behind to avoid being photographed with senior royals. The heightened profile on Sunday wasn't accidental. 'It could be interpreted as the King's warning that there isn't really a split, that Andrew is still a member of the family despite not being a working royal.' The King's enthusiastic delivery of a nifty gin in York evoked his late grandmother's equivocal appearance at a Berkshire school fete in the 1980s, when no tonic was available. The Queen Mother made short work of her tumbler-full, despite the fact that it was heavy on the ice. When asked if she would like another, she replied, 'Thank you.' 'No ice,' Brian Cox, the son of Succession, was at the funeral of his alter ego Logan Roy. 'I thought I'd better go because I knew there was going to be a lot of paparazzi there,' he says. They started clicking away as soon as I got out of the car.' I was able to forget that it was my funeral straight away.' He adds mischievously: 'When did I die? I believe it was last July,' oh my goodness.'

JAMES BROWN: She has the vote ahead of comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, American rappers Beastie Boys, and the ohmobolic New Order, and I've spent a fair amount of time with both of them. I spent just a weekend with Helen, and it was the best.
