For half the year Don Rumbold works sheet metal in Bradford, Yorkshire, to pay for the other half of his life - skiing on Cairngorm in Scotland. He was in his mid-20s when he first saw a pair of skis - on a Bradford golf course. He asked to have a go and finished up in a bunker. Now, ten years later, he's a ski instructor.

Trevor Philpott reports on Four Corners of the Marketplace We call it the ' Common Market' but, according to the corner of it in which you have the luck to be born, your chances of wealth and happiness are going to be vastly different.
1: The Calcutta of Europe
Naples was once the Queen of the Mediterranean, the proud capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Now the city is so far gone in decay that it's hard to recognise as a European city at all.
It's the city of the street boss, the child labourer and the confidence man; the city which hankers after departed kings and believes both in the Evil Eye and miraculous saints.
