I remember those days, I used to go to collage in London on day release for my apprenticeship, and I specifically remember Ken dropping the fares on the tube to a 20p go anywhere rate. As regards his last 8 years I think Ken was a overall success due to the fact he put Londoner's first, not the Labour party, a lesson Boris should follow if the Tories ever come to power.
