On a visit to the Mansion House, Joan found herself fascinated by the work and the role of the Lord Mayor of London. That's NOT Boris of course but the other one who rides into the city each November in a golden carriage to run 'the square mile' and to work as an ambassador for the city as a world hub for finance and banking. This current Lord Mayor, Ian Luder, invited Joan to 'share' some of his duties during his period of office from November 08 to November 09...so Joan had the experience of ...a great banquet at the Mansion House, giving the Queen's Award for Enterprise, driving the Lord mayor's boat on the Thames, attending the opening of Keat's House in Hampstead after it refurbishment and so on ....a really amazing experience that left her convinced that...YES..if invited she might consider becoming the (second) woman Lord Mayor of London!
