About the weather (part 2)
As if to prove that good weather really does bring out the best in usually reticent Londoners (either that or everyone other than me is relishing the prospect of Boris Johnson as mayor), a fellow passenger on the bus, after loudly proclaiming that summer has arrived, offered around cans of Diamond White cider and pork pies to fellow passengers. He was completely wasted but, hey, the sun was shining and Boris is banning drinking on public transport.

Is he really banning that? I thought it was anyway. I’d like to see him try and stop me swagger home from a Soho boozer with a pint of lager still gaily swingin’ in my hand as I head home to Bethnal. I’m outside of the law after 11pm after all.

Yes, RE, I think that one of the first things Boris did was to announce that drinking on public transport would soon become illegal. And if that means less topless, Stella chugging blokes on the Victoria line then he’ll have no compaints from me.
BLTP - I wasn’t game enough to sample them I’m afraid, although he did also offer me some Rennies should I have any problems with them. That joke reminds me of Stuart Maconie - have you read ‘Pies and Prejudice’?
