http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6269158.stm I for one would be all for it, if for no other reason than surely we deserve a mayor with more personality than a used teabag. Yes, old Boris can be a bit of a tit. But let’s face it, in these times, we could all do with something to giggle about. Discuss.
