Call me a fun-sucking old killjoy if you like, but I'm not sure I really see the poiint of a wax museum. Not unless that point is simply about taking photographs of yourself and family members next to full-size figures that vaguely resemble famous people. Yes, that must be the point. I'm obviously over-thinking this one.

So we're in London for the first week of our family holiday and a visit to Madame Tussaud's is on the democratically agreed list of things to see and do. I voted for the Imperial War Museum, but had to make that a solo trip yesterday afternoon.

Some wax figures notable by their absence include Gordon Brown and the current Pope. Tony Blair is still there as is George W. Bush. Princess Diana is standing a little to the side of the current Royal Famiy.

The two most popular figures seem to be Michael Jackson and President Obama.
My vote for most life-like went to that of London Mayor, Boris Johnson.

Unless that really was him?
