Quote by Jags
we'll have to agree to disagree, otherwise this could go on longer than the olympic bid itself.....my final thoughts ... yes i do encourage my daughter to do sports but if there was an accident whilst doing so, i'd like to know there was the facilities available to help with that and recovery.....not as some cases recently highlighted that people have waited days for scanners, x-rays..months for operations and medicines and years in some cases for other treatments....

why do you presume i am narrow minded, and why have you now decided to make this personal and attack me....i would rather state my opinion and let others do the same, i have not disregarded or attacked anyones opinion, i may disagree with them but have NOT attacked anyone on a personal basis, called them shortsighted or narrowminded for stating an opinion....
Quote by deancannock
fact is the revenue that will be generated now that we have won the games....in tourism, and such like will outbid the cost of the games two fold. also we as a country will be left with excellant sporting facilities for the young people of tomorrow. And not least we have stuck two fingers up to Jacques Chirac !!
For gods sake lets congratulate ourselves.....its not often we win.
The UK's Games
London 2012 would be a sporting celebration for the whole country.
The football tournament would take the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games to every part of the country.
The existing football stadia at Hampden Park, the Millennium Stadium, Villa Park, Old Trafford and St James' Park would all host matches, with the final being played at the new Wembley.
The world-class facilities at Weymouth and Portland in Dorset would host the Sailing events.
But it would be more than just the Games action which would go nationwide.
In the run up to the Games, sport facilities all over the UK would host training camps and preparation events to help athletes from all over the world acclimatise.
And a series of international sports events would be scheduled to provide athletes and organisers with the experience of hosting major events.
The benefits to the UK would go far beyond the sporting arena. Tourism would receive a boost right across the UK, not just during the Games, but for years before and afterwards as well.
Australia reported an additional visitors due to the 2000 Games visitors who ventured far beyond Sydney to explore the whole country.
Thousands of local businesses and suppliers across the country would also profit from a London Games, providing everything from construction to catering facilities.
An army of 70,000 volunteers would be required to help run the Games, providing opportunities for people from all over the UK and from all walks of life to play their part.
Quote by Bristol Boy
Anybody who thinks the olympics in London is a good idea must be stupid. Britain will be humiliated in front of the whole world. In many ways it is very unfair on the athletes they should be allowed to concentrate on their performance instead they will have to worry about whether their train will be on time or if their event will be postponed because of rain.
The games will cost every London tax payer 270 pounds. Surely it should be the people living in Paris that should be jumping for joy.

Yeah..... what's happening with the winter Olympics? Winters have turned manky and it's almost impossible to russle up a decent slush ball lately and there hasn't been enough snow to go "bin-bagging" in years.... surely we aren't hosting the winter olympics too? If not...where will they be?
(and if we are hosting them, will there be no spectators due to all the trains stopping due to snow on the line?)
