Nannies For England's Super Rich Now Trained In Stunt Driving And Tae Kwon Do

Norland College in Bath, Somerset, which has been training professional nannies for the rich and famous since 1892, has added martial arts classes and skid pan training to its curriculum to meet the needs of modern wealthy parents.

Norland nannies are considered the most prestigious and are the favourites of royals, celebrities and the super-rich. But their Mary Poppins-style brown uniforms, felt hats and white gloves makes them instantly recognisable and vulnerable to robbers and kidnappers.

Parents worried about their children being held for ransom or being chased by photographers are requiring their nannies to know how to deal with potential attackers as well as master the traditional skills of first aid, sewing and cooking.

Who's teaching at this school? Chuck Norris?
