I remain a supporter of the 2012 Games, I think it'll do a lot of good
in a great many different ways.


I'm disappointed they aren't doing the rowing in Nottingham - I could
have walked to the venue!


Yeah, well Nottingham didn't win the Olympic competition, did it,
London did!


Neither did Weymouth, but that's where the sailing is going to be.

Seems odd to decide to build a brand new rowing lake in the congested
London suburbs when we already have an Olympic sized one (and the
National Centre) at Nottingham.
