Ah! Um. I didn't because I was, I was... Um, Cheryl Tiegs! Do you remember Cheryl Tiegs? And the tennis girl. The Athena tennis girl. And I'll tell you this much for free. On the whole I was in favour of the blonde one rather than the dark one in Abba, but it was a close-run thing.
Boris Johnson is a very popular figure in the Conservative Party. If he was no longer city mayor, he could stand for Parliament in a by-election and then I think he would be, as soon as he was back in Parliament, he would be a very real threat to the premier
This election comes when we have been going through the toughest times that anyone can remember
Their (the Conservatives) national poll rating is substantially way down now and yet Boris Johnson has remained just ahead in the London mayoral race
Huge numbers of people in London depend on their cars. Fuel duty is becoming a big factor in people’s cost of living. I believe in trying to ease these burdens.
Shows Boris Johnson defeating Ken Livingstone in the run-off vote for Mayor by 53-47% - the same margin by which he won four years ago.
Times are tough, and the motorist is being gouged. The economy has got to come first.
The Conservatives’ best hope for a victory is Boris Johnson in London, so if he wins they’ll be focusing on that and trying to use it to draw a line under recent difficulties before moving on to the Queen’s Speech
I was trying to cheer everybody up by saying I didn't conform to that particular stereotype.
Boris Johnson’s own diary shows he has met bankers more than the police. According to the Mayor’s official diary, between May 2008 and March 2011, Boris Johnson held 86 meetings with bankers and the financial services industry but only 48 meetings with the Metropolitan Police.
London and the UK's reputation as a welcoming city in which to do business or travel are at stake

We are determined to see this thing go on until … journalists, whatever newspaper group they belong to, if they've broken the law, and indeed if any public servants have broken the law, then they need to feel the full consequences of the law
I think they’re all the same ... Ken Livingstone is too old; he’s been there, done it. Boris Johnson’s a bit of a joke – trying to be crafty, get the leadership of the Conservative party – hasn’t really got Londoners’ interests at heart.
I don't know of any discussions going on about that but what I can tell you is that I think it's right to work with the private sector to get contributions that will be for the benefit of London

But Boris Johnson has proven to be a typical Tory as mayor, r...
This summer, with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Games, gives us a once in generation's opportunity to promote what is very best about London and the U.K.
The only guarantee you get with Tory Boris Johnson would be another four years of above-inflation fare increases. Why else would the Tory Mayor refuse to reveal any details of his fares policy if he wasn't planning a huge fare hike?
