    No takers for this one ? The first town or borough to elect a woman as mayor - really in Dave's part of the World (or rather old part of the World) a famous composer lived there.

    That's the town Yorkie. They were the first in the UK to elect a woman as mayor - Elizabeth Garrett Anderson in 1908, surprisingly before women had voting rights in the UK. She was also a famous suffragette. Over to you.

    The audience laughter when the demonstrable liar de pfeffel was asked if politicians could be trusted... and was edited out by the BBC and cut into applause (probably for the question)… tells you all you need to know about the state of our media today. Disgraceful.
