Ginger doesn't mean minger
OVERHEARD in Sainsbury's on Old Hall Street...
Twenty-something woman (flicking through Grazia): "I've had to have a re-think about the way I see the world."

Friend (absentmindedly as gaze alights on the chocolate shelf): "Why?"
Twenty-something woman: "I saw an attractive ginger, and it wasn't even Bradley from Eastenders."
Now I have a few red-haired friends and they are all very beautiful. So in tribute to them and flame-haired people everywhere, here are five reasons why it's great to be ginger:
1. You can be pale and mysterious without having to take arsenic as they did in Victorian times.
2. Green looks amazing on you but makes many non-redheads look like they went 10 rounds with a bottle of vodka the night before.
3. You're unlikely to go grey as quickly as your friends with dark hair.
4. It's the perfect accessory to help you stand out in a crowd.
5. Lily Cole, Nicole Kidman, Katharine Hepburn... we won't mention Steve Davis and Henry VIII.
