A hilarious account by Councillor Peter Thomson of his year as Newcastle's Lord Mayor. The first Lord Mayor of Newcastke upon Tyne to abseil off the Civic Centre, take part in the Great North Run, ride in a bicycle rickshaw - Peter Thomson's year in office, 2000-2001, was unconventional from beginning to end. A challenge to his staff, who tried, with mixed results, to keep him in order, Peter recalls his memorable year as Nrewcastle's 'front of house' with what he describes as "appallingly tactless honesty". Highly informative and very very funny.

Peter Thomson has been councillor for Elswick, Newcastle, one of the poorest wards in the country, since 1984. He is that rare thing, a politician who cares deeply about real issues.
