[El Gordo]

Interesting. In my office, there's been a rash of standers popping up over the past couple of years. Some drift back down again soon enough while others I feel sure would be unrecognisable to me if I ever saw them seated.

It's the Angela Rippon syndrome, in reverse.

More mature members will recall that AR, the seasoned BBC newsreader from the 1970s, was widely rumoured to have no legs, as these were never seen. She proved otherwise in a shock appearance in the 1977 Morecambe & Wise Christmas Special. Ah!! That's entertainment!! That's glamour!! Try telling that to the youngsters of today.
