Sometimes there are no words!

At least he won’t go into the meeting with bare feet like a certain ex royal who jetted in to pontificate on the subject.
Or will he??
Seriously, there is a justification for a PM in flying down to Cornwall for something like the G7 to be there in good time for briefings and greeting leaders etc.

I am sure he would have preferred to cycle, but needs must.

I've just thought. Maybe he could have sailed there. I can see. him at the helm as it sails into the harbour. Him and Carrie doing a Leonardo and Kate. With music playing. Shame he didn't think of that.

Sarnia please could you tell us what you would have advised them to do? I suppose BoJo could have gone on his tandem bike and given a lift to Biden but it's a hell of a long way.

I'll have you know Chewbacca there are some pretty steep hills in Devon and Cornwall. My young fit son struggles to cycle up some, so heaven help the old guys on their tandem!

I seem to remember some people criticised Greta Thunberg for going on a train.

Horse drawn barge down the Avon and Kennet Canal (phew all those locks at Caen!) to Bristol, then sailing boat to Cornwall - maybe even a pedilo although the sea can be a bit rough along the North Devon and Cornwall coast. Fantastic scenery though! Help keep the old weight down too. Only problem it would take rather a long time.

I'm just hoping Sarnia doesn't own or drive a car, ever travel abroad by plane or ship, eats only produce from the UK and has 100% solar/wind energy to run her home.

With a name like Sarnia maybe she lives on Guernsey so wouldn’t need a car. Um, I just speculated

He flew there yesterday and his excuse for flying was because he had to get there quickly to meet Biden, who was in Suffolk....

Perhaps he could have met Biden in Suffolk and shared his helicopter ride to Cornwall..

Why not grab a Dartmoor pony for part of the journey? Wilfred would enjoy that.

Boris and Biden could always have gone by microlight down to Cornwall.

Some wonderful suggestions here
I think the Dartmoor pony is the best idea though, as Ellianne says, Wilfred would love it.

Thanks maddyone.
It's a shame many GNs are put off venturing on to the N & Politics forum. It is possible to have some fun!
Not sure if the first few posters on this thread will come up with any better ideas for Boris?

I think Boris can fly under his own steam can’t he?

certainly can and the produced methane is more harmful to the environment

I just keep wondering why these very wealthy men can’t afford good tailors? They all have jackets pulling at the waist? Mrs May was the same. Her jackets were so badly fitted. Saw Trump this week with horrendously fitted trousers. What’s up with them?? ?‍♀️

doodledog completely agree! Zoom is the way to go. Now that would show commitment.

In the spirit of the thread I'm going for light-hearted.

This isn't a sales meeting for Wernham Hogg, its a summit of the leaders of the biggest economies in the world. Whether we like it or not, relationships are created and nurtured by these individuals being in the same location, and schmoozing each other. The actual "business" of the meeting could be done my video conferencing but the intangible bit needs face to face meetings.

Like many here though, I'm not sure the middle of the pandemic is a good time for a meeting like this. But whenever its held, it needs to be face to face.

Oh, for an edit button...

the thing i hate about video meetings is... you have no idea who else is in the room with the people you are meeting with
I cannot be the only one who wonders this

Did you expect him to hitch hike?

All this indignation about the carbon footprint of the summit. ^Its a drop in the ocean.^

I wanted him to zipline whilst holding a Union flag

Off topic a bit...

I've been doing online dance classes since the first lockdown, learning, not teaching. Now that its warm I open the door of our conservatory during the class. Earlier this week I was joined for the class by one of next door's chickens. ? ?
