;119186'] I preferred Steven Norris to Boris as a candidate, but
after he was defeated twice it was always apparent that Boris had a
better chance of beating Ken.
I would have liked Steve Norris as Mayor too. Judging by interviews he
gave, he had a good idea of what was wrong at City Hall and he
understood that the essential pre-condition to reduce congestion in
London was to keep traffic moving.

Norris's problems in being accepted by Londoners was that he was
associated with both Margaret Thatcher's government and with Jarvis
and that his seemingly energetic love life did not win him widespread
admiration.

Boris, of course, has at least as energetic love life as "Shagger"
Norris...
