So he says...weird isn't it. Actually I think I should have said great grandfather. Either way he's quite the melting pot.

His great grandfather was a Turkish politician and I think he is also a decendant of King George II.

What a guy!

I particularly like the Prince Paul/German actress connection!

Sorry we didn't get to meet The Lord Mayor when we were there!

Has he been good for tourism or is it too soon to tell?

Indeed, Dicanio,

He always said he liked a good turk.:-)

At least he runs off at the mouth without thinking, it gives you an insight it to the real B.J. Like him or loath him, it's refeshing.

Unlike so many of the politicians now who copy from the Blair acting school.

Yup, it was some cheery Eid stuff. I didn't have time to stop, but it looked fun.
