  This is a spoof journalistic response to the emotional rebirth of New Britain, as chronicled by the woman who acted as its midwife . Sometimes poignant, never less than tragic, often brave and always searingly honest: these are the qualities that have made Bel Littlejohn of The Observer Britain's best-loved columnist. Part self-help guide, part heart-felt and brutally frank reappraisal of her life to date, Ms Littlejohn deals with such topics as Diana, Princess of Wales ( She taught us how to laugh and how to cry, and the difference between the two ), coping with a living mother at Christmas-time, Gordon Brown's Desert Island Disc ( Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus ), Louise Woodward ( I wept, you wept, he or she wept, we wept, you plural wept, they all wept ) and living with a verucca.
