Rt Hon Al Jo - my mate

Had a great time today as we opened a new facility. I was responsible for looking after Rt Hon Alan Johnson. This meant that I had to ensure that he was at the right place at the right time. What a thoroughly nice bloke! He spoke reasonably off the cuff when it was his time to give the speech and also unveiled a plaque - perfectly done.

We had a bit of a close shave when he had three sets of people to see and he also needed to use the facilities. We cleared the corridor and posted a guard on the door. You wouldn't think that getting a Secretary of State to the toilet would be so tricky! Took five people.

The rest of the event was a dream and there was loads of time for Champagne. Not only that but I received a thank you - cool!
