The January issue of GQ magazine named Boris Johnson, Mayor of London as the most influential man in Britain in 2012. I like Boris (cue memories of chanting his name through a pub in his former parliamentary constituency one new years eve) but I still fail to see how realistically he is no.1. I cant remember seeing Prince Phillip on the list at all either. I do however like the thought of the 'playboy toff' running the playground of London and I guess with the Olympics coming up he will have the ear of some very important people and they his. The following photo is taken from http://www.boriswatch.com/ a Boris fan club;
Today's metro news paper featured a house in Greenwich, south London which the owner is renting out during the Olympics, for £37,500 a week!!! It is a five floor town house with a temperature controlled wine cellar so for all you Olympics fans this is where you'll be wanting to stay. The property is reported to have been worth £225,000 in 1997 but today is worth £2.5 million! I think that's a little bit more of a return that you get from the banks at the moment! For that price I think i'd trade it in for a country pile #lordofthemanor.
So here is a DofG top tip, invest in property. Although if you're house gets repossessed I take no responsibility. Also try and make friends with Boris it seems. It also looks like this post paves the way for slightly more serious postings this year, although I think I may have promised a guide to being an international playboy. I will also hopefully have for you some guest posts and a wider range of topics, so bear with me whilst I try to figure out which direction the blog is heading!
Thanks for reading,
Alex
