Another black tie invitation from the Lord Mayor

By Tom Winnifrith | Tuesday 29 October 2024


 


Given my exposes of the Lord Mayor's antics with Richard Poulden, I am shocked to receive another invitation from him to a black tie event.

With my weight down to 13st I doubt that my old moth eaten DJ, designed for a man of a rather fuller figure, would be fit for purpose. My diet these days is alcohol, carb, most meat free so the meal would be wasted on me. And I feel like shit for all sorts of reasons so the idea of risking my life among the knife wielding crazies in London is not appealing.

Actually I am at a point in life where the idea of a black tie dinner with a bunch of crony capitalists just horrifies me. Would I rather do that or put my kids to bed with a family prayer before watching a Foyle repeat, canning some tomatoes and thinking about the chicken run I need to build? No contest.

I doubt I shall be missed but I have declined on health grounds.
