Boris has called it the “ULTIMATE SACRIFICE”. Last week he was supporting the work of the QUAGGY WATERWAYS ACTION GROUP by helping to remove litter and – an invasive plant that is a BULLY OF THE WATERWAYS from a river and HE FELL IN!
ANGUS wondered if the Himalayan Balsam GOT THE BETTER OF HIM AS WELL. Boris was trying to encourage volunteers to help by saying it is GOOD FOR INDIVIDUALS. This gives me MORE REASON to think that Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, would make a good SCOUT LEADER as scouts are good at volunteering in supermarkets and car wash places.
However we are hoping that Boris’s UNEXPECTED DIP does not put people off volunteering and we are suggesting the following: that GIANT RUBBER BORIS FLOATS are positioned on all WATERWAYS so that any ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVERTED. ie if anyone FALLS IN they can just grab on to a BORIS FLOAT until further help is available. If the BORIS FLOAT is in the SHAPE and COLOURS of a SCOUT LEADER this would then serve the DUAL PURPOSE of promoting the SCOUT MOVEMENT.
I am going to write to BEAR GRYLLS to inform him that he should GET TOGETHER WITH BORIS to see if THIS MIGHT BE FEASIBLE.
