And whilst we are on the subject of our colonial brothers….

Here is a photo of Laud Mike Gaire of the Ministry responsible for avoiding the USA fiscal cliff with special portfolio to Keep Chuck Berry singing live in St Louis, on his recent NW tour of England. (Thats mike’s tour  not chuck’s)

Mike was over in England for 10 days in late November and spent some time in Manchester following the trail of our esteemed leader in Manchester Central. The picture above is of Mike in his hotel base in Bolton before going out on the OMRLP campaign trail. Mike is now back in St Louis firmly esconced in the fiscal cliff negotiations but still finds time to listen to the odd Chuck Berry track or two. “A spokesman said that: confirming the well known adage that everything in USA is “bigger”, It has to be pointed out that whilst the U.K has the traditional Wishing Well, the USA has a fiscal Cliff”.
