That the BMW 5-Series is the leader in its class is something of a motoring magazine

That the BMW 5-Series is the leader in its class is something of a motoring magazine truism. Whenever a new executive saloon enters the market, the Beemer is always wheeled out to dispatch it in a head-to-head. Over the last few months, in comparison, Alfa Romeo’s new 166 has been revealed as cramped and under-developed; the new Jaguar S-Type has been exposed as a Ford in tweeds; and Volvo’s S80 has turned out to be, frankly, a bit of a barge. Despite being much lighter than its rivals (and therefore faster and more economical), the fourth-generation 5-Series looks more solid than any of its predecessors.

The nose of the car is perhaps a little aggressive looking, but at least it helps clear the fast lane.
Our 2.5-litre, straight-six 523i SE, with metallic paint, electric sunroof, on-board computer and alloy wheels, would set you back pounds 27,880 (the 5-Series starts with the pounds 24,000 520 and rises to pounds 43,000 for the V8-engined 540). That’s slightly less than the new Jag, a good deal less than a Mercedes E-Class, and on a par with the Audi A6.Having driven them all, as well as the Alfa 166 and Lexus GS300, the BMW is the car I would invest my own hard-earned cash in. On the head side of the argument are its legendary reliability, slow depreciation and exceptional build quality But the 5-Series will steal your heart too. Combining rear-wheel drive, a blissfully free-revving engine, acres of interior space and a ride that blends cosseting waft with sporty stiffness, the Munich-meister is a driver’s car that passengers will relish.There will be those who deride the BMW 5-Series for its Germanic perfection and middle-management aspirations, but nothing I’ve driven balances driver thrills (switch off the traction control and hang that tail out) and performance with comfort and practicality in a package this fiscally prudent.Road testIf you would like to take part, write to The Verdict, The Independent Magazine, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL, giving a contact phone number, your address and details of the type of vehicle, if any, you drive. For most cars, participants must be over 26, and have a clean driving licence.Leonard Hollingsworth62, teacher, from Bexley, Kent.Currently drives a Rover 600″The acceleration is lovely and creamy, definitely a rival for the new Jaguar S-Type The styling is nicely understated, timeless. It’s probably a feature of most modern cars, but I don’t like the fact that when you are driving you can’t see the bonnet It’s nice and airy inside and the headroom is enormous. If I turned up at school in this I’d certainly get some playground cred.”Chris Cawte37, company director, from Sydenham, London.

Currently drives an Audi A4 Quattro”It’s very accomplished, a fantastic engine, but I don’t think it’s as well screwed together as my car. It doesn’t scorch along and there’s a split second before the throttle takes up. It felt like the kind of car that someone a fraction older than me would own The interior trim is a bit plastic. I feel a lot of people who buy BMWs don’t know a lot about cars, but buy on perceived reputation.”Lynne Pearce43, health worker from Hayes, Kent. Currently drives a Ford FiestaSian Pearce16, Lynne’s daughterLynne: “It took a bit of getting used to after the Fiesta. The acceleration was wonderful but the driving position was uncomfortable because I’m quite short. The fixtures and fittings were excellent.”Sian: “It’s very smooth but, with the new-car smell and Mum’s driving, I felt slightly nauseous.

It’s got a very stylish image, though.”Patrick Reynolds52, accountant, from Sevenoaks, Kent. Currently drives a Volvo V70″As a Volvo driver I found the turning circle very good, but although it’s probably more powerful than my car, I didn’t drive it and go `Wow!’ It’s got lots of bells and whistles inside – there are all sorts of buttons on the wheel and the doors, no idea what they do. I like a sunroof and the air conditioning is good for my hayfever. It’s a nice ride, lower than my Volvo, but I wouldn’t buy one, because I need an estate car.”.

Virgin Airlines heir Sam Branson was hanging out with Andy Roddick, and couldn’t resist challenging him to a bet.

Obviously, it would be unusual for one man to run both main parties, but it is totally in line with Tory thinking to have as many jobs as possible and get paid as much as possible for them.Paul Merton. It is often said that politicians should have jobs outside their parliamentary role to keep them in touch with the the real world, and it is said that Tony Blair is seriously considering an offer from the Stop-Michael-Portillo-At-All-Costs lobby to take on the extra role of Tory leader. And whenever things went wrong under his premiership, he could always put it down to temporary insanity, which no other PM has ever openly admitted.Lionel Blair Sorry, that was a misprint for Tony Blair.Tony Blair. If elected, he would pledge himself to pay his taxes, go to Europe whenever possible and get all the best people as guests at Prime Minister’s Question TIme.Hugh Grant. There would be a huge sympathy vote for Hugh Grant, after so many cheap jokes at the expense of the unfortunate star of Four Weddings and a Lewd Act Jokes like that, for instance. He knows everyone, does a handy little monologue on the week’s news just as if he had written it himself and is never fazed by questions, so would make a perfect PM.

If she became prime minister again, she would pledge herself to cut taxes, distance herself from Europe, become immensely popular, get Mark out of all his troubles and take Julian Critchley’s knighthood away.Ned Sherrin Ned Sherrin is virtually a flawless candidate. One of the most experienced fighters in Tory party leadership elections, there is no reason why she should not come back to lead the party again, book signings permitting. He already knows all the world leaders well, certainly better than John Major, and is the one man who could bring peace to Northern Ireland at the stroke of a pen. He believes passionately in the special relationship that exists between the United States and parts of Northern Ireland, and has not been over-exposed on British TV.Margaret Thatcher. He has a great advantage over John Redwood, the ex-Secretary of State for Wales, in that he is still Prince of Wales and can get by in Welsh.Gerry Adams. Gerry Adams is not everyone’s idea of a perfect Tory leader, but has been elected a Westminster MP in the past and may well be a secret card-carrying member of the Tory party, so there is no reason why he should not be taken seriously as a candidate. If he became prime minister, he would cut taxes, distance himself from Europe and become very popular.
Prince Charles.

For years his mother has been nagging at him to get a proper job and keep out of mischief. Of course, being leader of the Tory party is not what most people would call having a proper job, nor would it keep him out of trouble, but it would be a start. It would be the first job he had applied for that a divorced person can do, for one thing. It would also be within the rules of the contest if he married a Catholic, which he is not allowed to do in his present job.

Of course, anyone called Michael is also in with a very good chance of winning, so it is quite on the cards that Mr Gummer might change his name to John Michael Gummer. This is not as unlikely as it sounds, as he has already changed his name once, from John Selwyn Gummer to John Gummer. Mr Gummer believes that anyone called John is in with a very good chance of winning the title, and as he is called John, this would seem a good time for him to stand for the post. One noteworthy thing about the Tory leadership contest is that the declared contestants are not half so interesting as the undeclared contestants, so today I am ignoring the two men already with their hats in the ring and bringing you a list of some of those who will be slugging it out in the second ballot

John Gummer. And our paranoia suggests the answers are not particularly consoling. If his black box and his 500 channels feel like a threat, then that is because television itself has become too big and it has done so because there seems to be so little competition. When people worry about an engulfing tide of trash, they are admitting to their secret conviction that the masses are incapable of turning away and doing something else.That worry is well-founded.

“It tastes yeasty and they shouldn’t disguise it with so much sugar,” she said. “It needs to be flavoured more with liquorice.”**WALLABY NATURAL40g, 85p; 497 calories per 100gThis Australian product was Jane Bartlett’s absolute favourite. “We’ve never tasted anything like it,” was the perplexed verdict of the Vital team, who thought it tasted like “the seaweed served in Japanese restaurants”. Gary Frost confirmed that it does contain all these things, even if the B12 is in a form that cannot be absorbed – a misleading piece of labelling. In any case, beneath its silver “and rather messy” packaging, as Jane Bartlett commented, is a startlingly jet black bar, “like a little black brick”. Its content is primarily dates, figs, sunflower seeds, almonds and malt. Impressively, it contains 5g of hitherto unheard-of micro-algae called spirulina, containing “high protein, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamin B12″ and various other vitamins and trace elements.

Gary Frost pointed out that stickiness is a major factor in dental caries; this was the stickiest of the bars, but many of the others worried him for the same reason. Joss Gale liked the honey flavour of the Sunita bar and Penny Hudd liked the crunch, but Giles Gale said it “tasted burnt” and wasn’t as crunchy as sesame snaps. Everyone liked the price – even if you would need to eat two of these bars to equal one of the others.SPIRO LIGHT50g, 99p; 310 calories per 100gMany of the panel were drawn to this bar for its curiosity value. “It sticks to your teeth,” they complained, adding that it has “a sweet toffee taste, but with a bitter after-tang to the seeds”. The Vital contingent decided that the texture of this bar was overly brittle and sticky. There are fewer calories in a Milky Way than in this.”**SUNITA SESAME BAR WITH HONEY30g, 25p; 534 calories per 100gThis small, simple Greek snack is packed in a partially see-through wrapper that’s deficient, said Jane Bartlett, in proper nutritional information.

The students were evenly divided between liking the bar’s “nice chewy texture” and dismissing it as reminiscent of “yesterday’s muesli”. Gary Frost agreed that, in principle, nuts, fruits and cereals are inoffensive foods: “Binding them together with something, usually some sort of syrup as in this bar, is what adds the calories. Jane Bartlett, who confesses to snacking on two health bars daily in order to keep her weight up, often buys these because “they look attractive – golden and tasty – and they’re not oversweet, but they are quite filling”. David Davies, on the other hand, compared the softness which Vital’s staff liked to “balsawood” and Penny Hudd agreed that the Frusli was “unpleasantly soggy”. The problem is that people choose highly calorific snacks, when what they need is something like an apple.” None of the bars was especially low in calories (from around 300-530 cals per 100g – a chocolate bar typically has 400-530 cals per 100g), nor indeed good for your teeth, so they did not get the dieticians’ stamp of approval.***JORDAN’S FRUSLI33.3g, 35p; 431 calories per 100gWithout doubt the best-known bar among those sampled, this muesli-type confection of raisin and hazelnut is well-priced and widely distributed. All our testers thought it the most attractively packaged, though some approved of the wrapper’s apparent attempt to compete with chocolate bars while others scorned it.

Well-known big household insurers will normally consider non-standard risks, but the special terms they impose are rarely attractive. This tends to be particularly the case with thatched homes – which are regarded as unusually hazardous fire risks.
Norwich Union, for example, will consider all unusual risks on their own merits except for mobile homes. For most houses of non-standard construction, it will impose a 10-30 per cent increase in premium. In the case of thatched properties, the average loading is 100 per cent.Using specialists will normally prove more cost-effective.

Some types of unusual house are peculiar to distinct geographical areas. UNUSUAL homes can present problems when it comes to finding suitable insurance. Nevertheless ignorance on the part of the owner is often a contributory factor Knowing where to go is half the battle. If the decision to lend money ever did come to constitute advice to the borrower to proceed with the proposal, no bank manager would ever dare to approve a single proposal. In the long run, one of the more significant aspects of the case is the judge’s reported remark that the manager should have told the couple plainly that their proposal was not a wise one and that they should forget about it.With hindsight that is perfectly clear, but not everyone shared the view way back in 1988 that the property market was about to collapse.Paradoxically, one of the actual consequences of the judgment could be to make banks reluctant to give borrowers any guidance at all in case they are subsequently blamed for talking customers out of an opportunity for the profitable use of credit.. But even if the bank considers the proposal an acceptable risk, the decision to proceed must always be left to the customer.Perhaps this is just as well. They will continue to follow bank rules to assess a proposition and ask probing questions about the viability of the project.And they will ask customers whether they have considered various financial options and taken specific and general risks into consideration.

The Reichmann brothers would be able to sue the lending banks for the losses they suffered on building Canary Wharf and still expect to buy the building back on the cheap.Lloyds Bank claims that it has not altered its instructions to managers in the light of the judgment. If it did, then Third World countries could sue international banks for several hundred billions in compensation on top of the billions the banks have been forced to write off when the loans went bad. Lending rates reflect the degree of risk implicit in the project and the amount of security the borrower can offer. But a loan is not the same thing as a joint venture.Providing the credit is not the same as agreeing to participate in a project, still less to guarantee its financial success.The decision to grant a loan does not constitute a guarantee to the borrower, nor is it advice to proceed. Certainly, the couple claim he encouraged them and the judge believed their version of events.The crucial issue that the decision to make a loan does not by itself constitute advice to proceed or provide a guarantee was established in the 1958 case of Woods v Martins Bank (now part of Barclays Bank) and this has not been challenged.In the circumstances, Lloyds Bank sees no point in appealing, and says the cardinal principle on which banks lend remains intact.The decision to make a loan is a risk which all lenders have always taken since time immemorial. The manager said he had assumed at the time – some seven years ago now – that the couple had a surveyor or adviser and were not relying just on him for advice.
