Me too. I wish someone could explain to me what UK (even just

I think London is the perfect place for the Olympics.

Except it has few suitable stadiums, inadequate public transport and
the area chosen needs to be bombed flat before they can start.

I think it could be done, and I support the bid- because I think the
regeneration would be worth it. But, if Paris got it instead, that would
be fine with me too. Worth pointing out that one of the new Eurostar
stations in London will be very close to the site.
