Not here. I want the games to be a massive success and believe that the prophets of doom who predicted a shambles in building the various venues etc. have already been proved wrong. Given that we are where we are, we should be proud of what's been achieved and all be hoping that the event will prove a massive success with a significant boost to the UK 's profile and economy. If anything more media attention is what's required. Portions of our media in particular are excellent at running ourselves down and making their predictions of failure almost a self fulfilling prophecy. We need to break that habit and shout about the success story which, so far, is London 2012.

Whilst it may bring pleasure to some to see the Olympics turn into another Millennium Dome project they can whine about, they should reflect on how successful that's become, albeit in foreign ownership which is regretful. I'm confident the Olympic games will be looked back upon as a massive success and I'm hoping that its legacy will be of lasting benefit to the UK in one way or another.
