President of the U.K.

Mind, if you want a woman as well, I’d happily share the presidency 50/50 with the gorgeous Gerard.

Gerard Butler, he would get my vote any day!!

I can remember being very impressed with Dame Ellen MacArthur when she was on Desert Island Discs. She sounded like a thoroughly decent person - with a social conscience and a refreshing lack of pomposity. It was a while ago. She may have changed but I hope not.

Jalima please remember , if you want to be president talking of shopping isn’t wise , display of wealth?

Things just aren't the same any more.

Yes, the closure of David Morgan in Cardiff was a blow to us residents as well as visitors, but it could not survive as it was and there was no capital to cover the necessary changes to bring it up to date and meet all the mandated changes to H&S etc.

Thank you, I skim read the link but will read more later on.
Very interesting.

Gosh.. I think we need some enthusiasm and passion for something..

Prianka Joshi another scientist?

Or what about Miranda Hart..she stands out in a crowd?

Cardiff has never been the same since David Morgan closed CJ!

I could live in Cardiff Castle, handy for John Lewis - or Castell Coch!

While you would find a visit to Cardiff interesting the facilities in both the Castle and Castell Coch might not be what you expect. Work in both places is ongoing and as usual in Wales time is not a constraint. However there are many places to stay from good B&Bs to luxury hotels so do come... before John Lewis closes!

None of the above PECS
Stacey's OK but rather over-enthusiastic
Who's Catherine Sturgeon?

not the Mirren

Alexander Armstrong?? Aaaaagh!! Horrid, irritating man. If he got elected, I'd leave the country.

True, not many women have been suggested ,

Helen Mirren?
Stacey Dooley?
Catherine Sturgeon?

Good to give women a,chance too ..

Oooooooh Alexander Armstrong

British , not involved in politics , ?

Would that be pointless though, Dorcas?

Anniebach your DD may well have seen the fairies at Castell Coch, but they told her to say nothing.
Only those who truly believe will see them.

Hugh Dennis [nods head wisely]

Alexander Armstrong

I think he has a clean record... I would give him my vote.. go for it Danni

He's our man then Annie - If anyone has his address I'll pop round and speak to him about it. I'll be a bit of a nuisance but someones got to do it.........and I really don't mind

Danni he is british and not heard of him being involved with politics ?

Just watched a programme with Hugh Dennis in it and I was impressed with him so I nominate him as our first President. (The programme was about him and David Baddiel (spelling?) driving on a very dangerous road in Ethiopia and he was so capable and steady in very dangerous situations I thought "Aha he would make an excellent President".)
Note how I am constantly on duty regarding Gransnet and suitable answers to current posts!!

Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Portugal.

Jalima. Not sure about Castell Coch, I will have to ask my younger daughter if a princess and fairies still live there, they certaintly did in the 70’s because she said so, we had to regularly visit it to look for the fairies , unfortunately we seemed to choose the wrong days ?

Jalima1108, the joke is now clear.
