Please please please, fingers crossed we lose this bid. I can't bear the thought of tens of thousands of extra visitors to this city. The infrastructure can't cope as it is. Imagine the embarrasment of having half the competitors miss the start of the 100 meters due to signal failures at Dollis Hill.

It's bad enough that so much of London is overpriced and run-down. The last thing we need is the whole world finding out.
