Generally speaking I'm with Groove on this. I think that it is rather wonderful of us to have got together the olympic site ahead of schedule and on budget(however revised). Thus proving to the world, yet again, our superior ability to organise not only the proverbial brewery entertainment but also the world's premier sporting event. I would have been deeply annoyed if we had cocked it up thus allowing the french to sneer.

However as Groove points out, whichever way you look at it, it is an unconscionable waste of resources, money and time. I also think that it is a bit rich for London to expect the entire country to help pay for something only Londoners will, in the main, benefit from.
