    if London gets it there will be an "Olympics Surcharge" on my council tax bill for the next 10 years.
    About £20 per year. That's £2 for the Olympics and £18 to feed the newts.

    I hope it's Paris. For a start, as I live in south-west London it will probably be easier and quicker for me to get to the site in Paris, plus if London gets it there will be an "Olympics Surcharge" on my council tax bill for the next 10 years.

    Now it really is between London and Paris. Moscow, New York and Madrid have been eliminated.

    As Bliar is now furiously involved and has declined to comment on Chirac's remark about food, I reckon he must believe that we're now in with a good chance. Lots of favours changing hands - bit of Cambellism with the announcement of that website saying we're now favourites.

    It will be an unmitigated disaster and you know it will not be Londoners paying for this - it will be everyone...

    ... and it begs the question of why they cannot sum up the same enthusiasm to sort out transport in the SE in the first place.

    Paris or London?

    Discuss, Abuse Chico & Franco, or whatever.

    I'm not asking "Which city do you want to get the games?", I asking "Which city do you think will get the games?"

    My thought is that Paris will get it.

Working...
