Paris Hilton’s taxi payment
You may already know what you want to be “when you’re older”, and you might be lucky enough to have already started your dream career.
However, if you haven’t you may want to consider becoming a taxi driver and following Paris Hilton about wherever she travels.
The famous heiress to the chain of Hilton hotels was recently seen in Paris giving her taxi driver a rather large amount of money for dropping her of at the shops.
It was $100 (about £60) to be precise, and she didn’t wait to get given the change back either...not that it would have been very easy to do since she didn’t bother converting her cash into Euros for that particular trip.
It seems as though, if you give Paris Hilton a lift enough times you may be able to afford to buy a fancier car, or perhaps even employ a chauffeur.
After all, if Paris Hilton’s Paris visit is anything to go by, driving yourself places, and paying people in the correct currency, is so last year.

Lady Penelope
Many of us would like a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce – but Thunderbirds’ Lady Penelope actually had one, and a pink one at that.
Yes, we know that the part of the well-dressed secret agent of the famous television series was performed by several different puppets – but the impact the show has had culturally makes us feel that we are entitled to feel envious of Lady P’s lifestyle anyway.
She was an aristocrat with flattering designer clothes and a large house in the British countryside!
Well, although we may never be able to get into the back of a pink chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce and say, “To the shops please, Parker,” we could own Lady Penelope herself since one of the original puppets is being auctioned off on the 29th of June this year.
Being sold dressed in a white 60’s summer dress, cream-coloured cardigan with light pink embroidered flowers on the shoulders and dusty-pink ballet-pump shoes – the Lady is estimated to make about £10,000 at auction.
Good luck, Lady Penelope, we hope you find a good, and very upmarket, home.
