from 'Londoner's Diary,' Evening Standard, 15.09.2006:
Knickers at the Serpentine
BRIDGET JONES' knickers were up for auction last night at the "Belle Epoque Party" hosted by Perrier-Jouet and the Royal Park Foundation at the Serpentine.
The drawers signed by Hugh Grant.. were not to be sniffed at, fetching £2,000. It was the Micro car, bought by Ben Goldsmith's wife Kate, which was the bigger talking-point. The car came with free parking in a Royal Park for a year. However, having laboured under the misapprehension that the Micro came with parking rights for the whole of London, she kept the car but donated the perk back to the auction.
Kate's brother-in-law, Zac Goldsmith, was keen to bid for inventor Sir Clive Sinclair's new, fold-up "A-bike".
"Anything Sir Clive does is good by me," Zac, editor of The Ecologist magazine, told me. "I'm fascinated to learn more about magnetically-driven and potentially free energy." Aren't we all?
