On your marks, get set...BATTER!

It's nice to know that in times of economic woe, those that run the country still manage to find time to have a bit of fun. The annual pancake race, won by the Peers this year round, raises money for the charity Rehab UK, a brain injury charity.

It may seem odd for Parliament and journo's to race pancakes outside Westminster in a time where we're getting royally shafted because of a recession, but I quite like the fact it shows a human side to the people we all love to hate.
