writes A few weeks ago, I got an eMail from the London 2012 bid team saying that a free event would be taking place on the 6th Jly to mark the announcemnt of who would be holding the games. It said to look on the Ldn 2012 site, though I cant seem to find anything. Anyone know the times & location? http://www.london2012.com/en/news/pr...6-15-08-00.htm -- Paul Terry |

It'll be a bit of a damp squib should the decision go to Paris. -- congokid Good restaurants in London? Number one on Google http://congokid.com |

I very much hope that it will - they are much better able to fund the likely multi-billion pound debt (I see that Toronto are still paying off the interest nearly 30 years later, while Greece is saddled with a chain of unused facilities that nobody wants and is trying to justify breaking EU monetary rules by claiming that Athens was virtually bankrupted by the last Olympics). -- Paul Terry |

I think London will have some problems in coping, particularly with transport. Regards David Bennetts Australia |

Yes amazing, our journies aren't important but give a politician a chance to go on a jolly and they can never say "well actually this journey is a waste of resources and contributes unnecesarrily to co2 immisssions". This from the guy who doesn't flush his toilet after a ****. I'd hate to have the job of cleaning his wc pan. Kevin |
