"Ping-pong is coming home..."
Four minutes that sum up just why I love Boris.
"Ping-pong was invented on the dining tables of England, ladies and gentlemen, in the 19th century. It was, and it was called whiff-whaff! And there I think you have the essential difference between us and the rest of the world. Other nations, the French, looked at the dining table and saw an opportunity to have dinner. We looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to play whiff-whaff! And that is why London is the sporting capital of the world. And I say to the Chinese, and I say to the world: ping-pong is coming home!"
Oh Boris. Never ever change.
And as an aside, I love Seb Coe giggling away in the background too!
