" It doesn't happen often that a child is able to get 'one over' on an adult, but it tastes sweet whenever it does. Likewise, commoners rarely experience gaining access to the 'seat of power' before the monarch does. It therefore creates a sweet taste that I did, almost 20 years before Queen Elizabeth II managed it on December 18th,2012. During a visit to 'Number 10' in 1992, Prime Minister John Major and Norma gave me a conducted tour around 'their pad.' During the tour whilst being taken to see the Cabinet Room, the PM invited me to sit down in his chair at the cabinet table, which I naturally did. Later that day, I remember allowing a devilish streak of mine to break out when I stuck a piece of chewing gum beneath Walpole's Desk in the Reception area. I have often wondered if it is still there!" William Forde: December 20th, 2012. Click to see item: /theres-nowt-stranger-than-folk.html
