| • | "A non-smoking Midland peer has revealed how he braved the scorn of actress Diana Rigg by telling her to stub out a cigarette in a fashionable London restaurant. He said: 'I got an extremely dirty look. She put it out, but with bad grace I thought. I remember it particularly because of the look I got from her. 'If I could have found a stone to crawl under I would have done. It was a look that said 'you miserable little man, why are you spoiling my fun?'' The Earl, who owns Weston Hall in Shifnal, Shropshire, said he felt he had a right to ask her to stop smoking because there was little ventilation in the restaurant, which he would not name, and she was spoiling his meal. 'She was next to my table, extremely close to me and her cigarette smoke was going up my nose whilst I was trying to eat my main course. ... Dame Diana 'inevitably' lit another cigarette later but he did not say anything more. Dame Diana, speaking before a production of Racine's erotic political thriller Britannicus at London's Albery Theatre last night, dismissed the Earl's complaints. 'I don't even remember the incident. Most restaurants as a rule put smokers in one area and non-smokers in another so the issue doesn't arise'", Birmingham Post (UK), Oct. 23, '98 |

| • | "Warning to diners who have the pleasure of sitting downwind of Dame Diana Rigg: don't tell her to stop smoking. The Earl of Bradford was seated at a neighbouring table to the actress, when she lit up, with a typically sensual flourish. Rather than enjoy this fortuitous proximity to the former leather-clad goddess, Bradford, the owner of Porters restaurant who has taken it upon himself to lead a campaign to remove the weed from such establishments, insisted she stub it out. 'She was extremely close to me and her smoke was going right up my nose. I hated it. I got an extremely dirty look that said 'you miserable little man, why are you spoiling my fun?' She put it out with bad grace,' Bradford says, without a trace of pomposity. 'Most restaurants put smokers in one area and non-smokers in another,' says Ms Rigg defiantly", The Times (UK), Oct. 24, '98 |

His Lordship (Harrow and Cambridge) said that he invited the luscious Dame to 'refrain from smoking underneath my nose while I was trying to enjoy my main course'", Bath Chronicle (UK), Nov. 4, '98 |
