Without going into the details (largely because I do not possess them) this H'angus, immediately after being voted in as Mayor became a serious joe and apparently has been doing a very fine job of it.

Giving bananas to school children sounds like a far better idea to me than let's hand the health service and the education system over to the private sector.

Maybe that's just cause I'm from near Hartlepool.

I'd rather have a monkey mayor than an ex-pig-dodgy-bastard.

Shocking, he's a right rotter. I remember his manifesto being all this zero tolerance and tough on crime hogwash. And then about 6 months after he came to power there were all them corruption scandals about him. To be honest, i though that would have been the end of him, but it must be a good few years he has been mayor now.

That there town was Hartlepool, just up the road from me, northernmost town of the ancient county of Cleveland. If you are cheeky you might say to a Hartlepoolian, "who hung the monkey?" Although if you're from Middlesbrough you may get the reply, "Who fucked the kids?"

Salut! John - if I'd been drinking milk just now it would have been all over the monitor!

re: "Bugger me gently" - I suppose the opposite would be the Australian exclamation "Fuck me dead!"

I'm sure it's mentioned above, but "shed-yule" for schedule always blows my mind. Do brits pass over the "C" in 'scale.' What about the "K" sound in 'cough'?

Different strokes.
