“I hope we can together bring a little sunshine to Worthing and Adur.”
Mr Mendoza said: “Bob and I have attended many events over the past year, we have both had to make speeches and decided to make it a bit of a double act. We seemed to be booked to appear together at more and more events, we both have wicked senses of humour and we seemed to have evolved into a bit of a Morecambe and Wise act”
Some of the material will be gleamed from constituents’ letters, with lines such as ‘It’s the dog’s mess that I find hard to swallow!’ and ‘my lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?”
Two Old Mayors have already secured bookings as far away as Birmingham.
