Just "a bunch of pushy Italian immigrants..."

Understatement of the week, the mayor of London said in an interview about his new book, "Just upriver from where I am, I can see London Bridge — that was the site of the first bridge across the river. Who built London Bridge? It wasn't Londoners. It was a bunch of pushy Italian immigrants from 43 A.D., the Romans, who founded this town."  Romans = "pushy."  Got it.
