(It would seem there are limits to what even Europeans consider personal.) As much as I'd love to see the Tories take over London, I will miss Livingstone's pearls of wisdom as when he advised London citizens, in an effort to promote water conservation, "If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down."
