Boris rocks at Olympics concert

Monday, 13 August 2012 10:02 AM

By far the highlight of the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony was London Mayor Boris Johnson rocking out to the Spice Girls.
The eye-catching dance moves have been splashed across the internet and seem to be a take on popular dance crazes from the sixties.
We enjoyed Boris’ moves so much we wanted to mark the occasion and we have found the perfect way to do so.
Sweet William Designs must have taken a look into the future because before the Olympics had wrapped up the company released a London 2012 inspired mug range.
The collection includes a very apt mug brandishing the words ‘Boris Rocks’ which he more than proved last night.

The design features union jack bunting which circles the top of the mug and is a quirky way to always remember those Boris hip swivels and arm moves.
The collection also includes slogans such as ‘Proud to be British’ and ‘Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner’.
The ceramics are handmade in Stoke-on-Trent in the heart of the Potteries.
If you want to spice up your life (sorry we couldn’t resist) and add a bit of Boris to your kitchen checkout the supplier’s website.
