Boris can't find what's under his nose......

I am still fairly gutted that Londoners elected Boris Johnson as Mayor a little over a month ago.

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see that already the new Mayor is having a few problems mastering his brief. Yesterday he went on the Today programme to say that he couldn't find an agreement that previous Mayor Ken Livingstone had signed with the Government on funding for the Olympics. It wouldn't have been quite so bad if a few moments' googling had not revealed that the said document is in broad daylight here

Ken showed he was back to his old form by phoning the Today programme and kicking Boris' backside.

  1. Its hardly in a obvious place and I fail to see why Boris should know everything - isn't it his civil servant's job to give him that sort of information?

  2. To be fair, if I can find it on Google in less than a minute, his well paid advisers should be able to, too.

Thanks for your comment. As long as it doesn't libel anyone, and isn't abusive, I'll publish it. I try to respond to as many as I can, but please forgive me if I don't. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. I read and appreciate every one, even those specifically aimed at winding me up.
