The Canal has been an interest for the last 25 years . I went along in the company of the Mayor of Welshpool , and joined the group at the official opening . When the Mayor did her bit , she insisted that I be given the ' mike ' to make another speech . I was a bit embarrassed but high profile slots like that are not to be refused .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
What did the mayor want me to do ?


She wanted me to speak to the crowd .
