    An increase in volunteering is good news, says Mike Locke, but we mustn’t rest on the Olympic laurels

    The number of people volunteering in England has increased remarkably. The new Community Life Survey shows 30 per cent volunteered at least once a month in 2012, compared to 25 per cent in 2010-11. As well as this ‘formal’ volunteering (ie, with a group, club or organisation), 35 per cent were involved in ‘informal’ volunteering (ie, as an individual) at least once a month, compared to 29 per cent the previous year.

    Film: Django Unchained

    Only Quentin Tarantino could start out making a film about slavery, and end up making a film about himself.

    Television Review: Yes, Prime Minister

    Gold, Tuesdays at 9pm



    There is a world of difference between an original piece of vintage furniture, and a modern copy of the same item. The former will be a reflection of its era but, since good workmanship stands the test of time, it should still look stylish and may even seem surprisingly modern. The latter, though it may be made from modern materials and nod to current fashion, runs the risk of looking merely old-fashioned and dated.​
