The Lord Mayor of London shouldn't be confused with Ken Livingston's job, its a ceremomnial position to do with the commercial City....and as such when a new one gets in place, they have a big poarade of old style coaches, drawn by horses. Ther horses dump a load of shit everywhere as they pass....so its the shit after the Lord mayor's show. Pointing out the contrast between the fine costumes and other decorations.....and a load of shit left after its over. Title: The Lord Mayor's show!
