Glad you're enjoying the job BTW.

Lets hope that area does get some regeneration then because it would be sad that the only legacy left from the Olympics are a load of stadiums and big financial hole .There does seem to be quite a lot of building going on around that area though especially in Woolwich itself ,a good sign is the number of cranes that can be seen not on the Olympic site itself but surrounding areas
