Re: The Mayor
Yes, before it became a political appointment, the role of mayor was open to everyone.
Everyone, as long as you were one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the borough.
Not something I'll lose sleep worrying about.
Antiquated, and purely a meaningless position now.
I'd happily support an annual compatition in the Observer, in which we decide on some nice old dear to be our symbolic first citizen, and who opens a few chuch fetes.
