At the moment, one of the more important stories in London is the visit by the IOC to see if London should hold the 2012 Olympics. Stratford will be the main site, which places it firmly in my 'turf'.

So the streets are alive with the banners, decorated buses and trains and the public debate in order to persuade the public to get behind the Olympic bid.

Which is why our ambulances have been stickered with this...

Back the Bid

I'd like London to win the bid - besides being a bit of a giggle, it'd be nice to provide emergency cover for thousands of tourists, athletes and to have the whole 'terrorist' thing to worry about (because I doubt that the 'War on Terror' would be won by then).

That, and it'd be something to tell the non-existent grandchildren.
