The Chelsea bun, which dates back to the early 1800s, was once a teatime favorite in most bakery windows in London, but they are getting more difficult to find. As customers opt for pastries that aren't as sweet, Greg Hands, the MP for Chelsea & Fulham, fears that the once popular bun will be under threat. I remember as a child how practically every bakery sold fresh Chelsea buns, but now the delicacy is impossible to come by, with the hot cross bun, the croissant, the pain aux raisins, and the like,' he told The Standard. 'It's still delectable, and the London area has a long tradition.' It's a rich piece of the city's history, as seen with the 200-year-old bun in the Museum of London's, and I'd be delighted to see it revived.' Mr Hands, London's Prime Minister, is in partnership with Partidges, an independent food store on Chelsea's King's Road, to alert people of the danger of death.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Margaret Beckett, a Labour grandee (pictured with the late Queen and Duke) has sheds a new light on her party's ties with the Royal Family. The MP, 80, who was in charge of the party for two months after John Smith's death in 1994, admits she once took Prince Philip 'to task' after he allegedly made a remark about the unemployed, which she resent. Asked if the royals were wary of Labour, Beckett pauses for five seconds before replying, "I did get the feeling that your relationship with the Queen may be simpler than [with] some other family members.' 'I seem to remember taking him [the Duke of Edinburgh] to task about his behavior towards the unemployed,' Dame Margaret says. She cites her father's return from the war with wracked health, but not because of his own concerns. The Duke must have said something about the unemployed. I don't remember what I said, but I do remember thinking, "This is certainly not how you should contact Prince Edinburgh," I did.'
