And, more to the point, how would

you correct the mayor's description of London?

What makes you believe I owe you anything?

When did Boris become arbiter of correct English utilization?

I didn't say he was. Indeed, I asked how you would correct him, as you

appear to be an expert on this subject.

Try "London is special. For
centuries, it has been amongst the greatest conurbations of the world. But a metropolis
is nothing without its people. This sparkling new history of London, told
through a relay-race of great Londoners shows in one, personality-packed
book that the ingenuity, diversity, creativity and enterprise of London are
second to none."

Not that It is well written, or true.

Conversation closed.

Thank you. On that we agree.
