John Major last night painted himself as the architect of Cool Brittania, which rules<br />
the pop-music airwaves, has taken over the fashion catwalks of Paris and upstaged Broadway.<br />
<br />
Three years ago he evoked a Britain of warm beer, cycling old maids, county cricket grounds<br />
and morning mist. But last night, in his speech to the Lord Mayor's banquet, he changed his<br />
pitch to a Britain of packed pubs and clubs, streets bustling with tourists and a capital<br />
described by Newsweek as 'the coolest city on the planet'.gretchen ragbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16833039856169772691noreply@blogger.com0
