The Obamas are taking the UK by storm and when they are not talking the important talk they are wining and dining at Buckingham Palace. The guest list for last night's big bash read like a who's who of politics, royalty, entertainment, business and Hollywood. Was the Mayor of London sitting next to Tom Hanks and did they discuss London's newest bicycles? Did the British Prime Minister eat all his greens as he chatted with Kevin Spacey? Perhaps Helen Bonham-Carter swapped fashion secrets with Michelle Obama or maybe Sir Richard Branson discussed flight times with the Archbishop of Canterbury. I am sure that the head of MI6, the secret intelligence service, couldn't wait to catch up with Tony Blair and I wonder whether he and Gordon Brown chatted over coffee. Maybe all the guests made a bee-line for Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, to check on interest rates....
Of course I am being silly...but what a dinner party and what a guest list... Who would you want to sit next to if it could be anyone? Living candidates only please....xv
