Congratulations London...... Excellent!!!
I'm as Aussie as Aussie can be and have lived here in Australia almost all my life... But London is the the city I was born in so this is extra interesting and thrilling for me especially when they will show all the different places in London... Dingo . |

I was gonna start a thread to celebrate Sam and then I realised that hundred's of millions of pounds will be spent on the richest city in Britain and I thought Birmingham, Manhester, Liverpool, Glasgow or Sunderland could sure have used it and it kinda dampened my genuine pleasure that London had won.

I am so happy that london won the Bid, the education value alone will help our schools up and down the country, I can see where Ben is coming from though as the Olympics will bring in a revenue of billion's pounds, and other cities could and should benefit from it, at least Liverpool will be the European Capital of Culture in 2008, and bring in around 2 billion pounds of investment for the city (they don't half make a mess of the place while building for it though).

Ben I know what you mean and were does all this money come from for a all new stadium and many other things that will be built . :confused: Thats one question i would like to ask Tony Blair what about the other city's. Sam. |

Londoner's will have to pay 38p a week in local taxes. That's not much really, when you think about all the benefits that will come from hosting the greatest show in the World. :bluesbros
