As Steve Redgrave famously said in Atlanta in 1996, four years before winning his fifth Olympic Gold at Sydney.
I had this very strange thought today.
I really would be love to be a Local Councillor. It's too late now to contemplate standing next year. But in the 2010 London Local Elections, I will be only forty two years old, and thus twenty years than the national average councillor.
I could be bloody good: eight years of on-the-job experience will have been followed by eight years reflection of what I could have done better. Coupled with the all the day-job experience I have and will have picked up by then.
