...those who want a vacation home but are reluctant to take on one more household to-do list, there's another option: fee-based membership clubs that offer access to a range of luxury homes. Unlike traditional time-shares, which give you access to a single place on the same dates every year, these clubs let members stay whenever they like in a number of places around the world.

Restaurants should just merge with second-mortgage companies. Besides the inevitable ?4 for bottled water, a 12.5% "discretionary" service fee is obligatorily added to the bill along with a presumptuous dotted line marked gratuity. Everyone claims the secret to London dining is to go ethnic, but our local Indian has a mysterious ?2 "papadum surcharge," and by its own admission the food is not very good. The quote on the back...
