Puffer Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Those who didn't see it on the UK news yesterday may be amused by clips of Boris Johnson (the somewhat buffoonish Mayor of London) enjoying himself wading in thighboots. Whilst helping to clear rubbish from a polluted stream, Boris apparently stepped into unexpectedly deeper water and lost his footing, as did his similarly-booted lady companion when she tried to rescue him. He told reporters afterwards that he found the experience refreshing and recommended it - which presumably was a reference to the ducking rather than to wearing thighboots. There are several clips; the first is probably the best: http://zebrambizi.wordpress.com/2009/06/04/boris-johnson-stumbles-into-river/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/conservative/5444512/Boris-Johnson-rescued-after-falling-into-river.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
