Just out of interest, Wynonie, there was an opinion poll published some time ago which indicated more people from London were against the Olympics here in 2012 than in the rest of the country. Most of my mates here in the East End agree entirely with you although the language they use is somewhat more robust. If the money was to be spent on sport, then it should have been spent on facilities around the country instead of this wasteful exercise.
