Sadiq Khan..mayor of London, in Ferens Art gallery during that Turner Prize bollocks....Tiny fella, very cold hands. John Prescott on several occasions. Once had a long chat with him on Leeds railway station. Decent bloke...That was way before he became infamous....Once at Brighton, when he rolled up to the 'well documented' city game in the two jags. Toss pot time.
