British Prime Minister Gordon Brown may well be proud of his workaholic reputation but not all of his ministers feel the same way. And yesterday, the Communities Secretary Hazel Blears advised the Prime Minister to get out and have a "bit of fun".

　　Miss Blears was responding to a report that Mr Brown had been surviving on two or three hours of sleep a night and was increasingly "exhausted". Blears said:"I think a balance in a politician's life, a bit of fun as well as a bit of hard work, is probably the best place to be."
