When I was Chair of the Assembly I once had an insane lunch with Boris Johnson and Prince Andrew. After we escorted him out the building BJ turned to me and said. "I'm the last person to be a republican but fuck. If I ever have to spend another lunch like that I soon will be."

The lunch had been at Prince Andrew's request but basically he just had some random bits of casework he wanted to discuss - what was happening to Battersea Power Stn, could the traffic lights be redesigned and could London have a new conference centre because QE2 was too small.

Battersea Power Station - he wanted the chimneys knocking down if the chimneys were putting developers off building something there.

Traffic lights - he had some harebrained plan to redesign the technology but basically he wanted fewer of them with fewer red lights.

QE2 Conference Centre - he thought was too small.
Boris came back "Well if it's too small it's your mum's fault"
Andrew responded by sticking his tongue out at Boris.
The rest of the lunch pretty much proceeded in this vein....

Those in local government will be familiar when a constituent who is rather persistent turns up at your surgery with some random "ideas" they want to discuss - it was basically a posher version of that.
