I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Boris and Jo Johnson's father Stanley. If you have ever wondered where the Johnson family get their drive from you don't need to look too much further that Mr Johnson Snr.
He kept the guests at Orpington's Christmas lunch entertained with anecdotes about camping in Kenya with Boris, Jo and Rachel, attending a coronation in Bhutan and watching the flames of his father's crashed RAF plane as a 4 year old. I had to leave the lunch early to get to my afternoon meetings in Bexley and Stanley was still in full flow when I left.
The one thing that came across strongly both during his speech and the conversations we had while eating was his commitment to ecology and the protection of wildlife. All in all a very interesting lunch.

Lets hope that this wasnt another free lunch courtesy of the tax payer.
Maybe you should have been out and about ensuring that the roads were gritted ready for this inclement weather. As yet again the roads of Bexley were awash with vehicles struggling to move 10 feet. It would indeed be a pleasant surprise if the roads were actually gritted in preparation for once. Oh well I am glad that you had a nice meal.
