Earlier this week, a reader told us how he found himself standing next to Boris Johnson, London's newly-elected Mayor, on a Circle Line train.
Our diligent reader was busy digesting some stuff about the credit crunch, which Boris appeared interested in. A discussion ensued, which was joined by two City traders, one thought to be from UBS Investment Bank.
Boris even signed the cover of the presentation (see to the right - press on the magnifying glass to enlarge). We believe his scrawl says: 'To Chris, and here's hoping you do well out of the credit crunch'. We all hope to do well out of you now, Boris. No pressure! What a guy!!
