I am Ken man too. On the music front, when I lived in London I was for a short time on the committee of the West London branch of Comhaltas. Being short of money we applied and got a grant from the GLC which pleased us musicians and dancers greatly. Needless to say this was portrayed badly by the loony right of the time!Yes Ken's independent-minded and eccentric as a newt. This is why independent-minded Londoners like him. He also made London Transport cheap and introduced non-skid road markings to save motorcyclist's lives. Two more reasons I like him!
Peace,
