Who knows there may be many more, this character will most likely keep giving, until the end of his term in office.

Boris Johnson is a typical upper class English man in high office and he, too, is a laughing stock and an embarrassment, bringing shame on his position around the world. Sadly he won't be gone in a few months.

Maybe took longer than usual aog, but you got your magic word in . I'll give you a hint, starts with M .

As said before, "they just keep on giving".

[Old_Geezer]

Seems a less that serious image for such an office, but if it's what the public voted for and the job gets done, then fine.

I was unaware that the public vote in their Lord Mayors.

I wasn't technically born in Britain but hold a UK passport - does that mean I am not British?
Personally I think he is a breath of fresh air.

We have always 'slowly' changed elements of our culture and traditions, and will no doubt continue to do so.

He's different that's true, the next Mayor may be more in the old mould - who knows.

Whenever I see someone with a base ball cap on backwards I have the urge to ask them where they bought it, since the ones I see in all the shops have the brim at the front.

British culture and traditions do change, which is why you aren't a slave.

Rockrose

I know perfectly well where you were born, you have told us enough times, not perhaps under your present name, but you get my drift.

/// Personally I think he is a breath of fresh air. ///

Have you took a whiff at those Doc Martens boots?

Blimey you are scraping the barrel, having to go back to Roman Britain.

[Rockrose]

Yes there is even a post about it as I am unable to get a driving licence as it is still under investigation - because I was not born in Britain - it doesn't make me or him any less British!

Then he should start acting and dressing like a British Lord Mayor, if he has a Lady Lord Mayor would it be acceptable for her to wear a burka?

[Mamyalynne]

Has someone spiked your Sanatogen?

As with many ways of wearing garments, the backwards cap has its origins in the USA and sport.

Goodness I don't believe there are any rules on how a British mayor should dress - you should see the lovely lady mayor that Belfast has and before that we had a gay Mayor - shock horror!

Thank you for proving the point.

/// As for wearing baseball caps backwards: Catchers wore their caps backward so the visor didn't interfere with their protective mask. But it may have been outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. of the Seattle Mariners who first got children to turn their caps around, too. ///

Ken Griffey Jr.
