Boris away again

I have to be careful what I say as I am due to be meeting the Great man in a couple of weeks time but perhaps you can make up your own minds by reading the piece by Boris Johnson in this morning's Telegraph

Here is a taster from the article entitled "Time to reconquer France"

In his Histoire d'Angleterre, André Maurois points out that the Seine and the Thames used both to be tributaries of the same great primaeval river, and that it was only in the past 8,000 years - a twinkling - that the melting glaciers turned that river into the Channel. Well, I say it is time we forded that river again.

The place I am thinking of has sensational food, and sunshine and clean hospitals and trains that can travel at 357 mph and waiters with a far better command of English than you can find in London.
