Thank you London for the Olympics

Its been over for five days and everybody has had time to sit down and regroup after the mad two weeks when the Olympics came to town.  In my previous post I have said how travel in the capital during this period was actually very well controlled and we had very little trouble crossing town for events with our baby in tow.  One thing that I didn't mention, and is something that I am really grateful for, is the excellent service from the volunteers who helped at the event to ensure the events went well.  Everyone we met was cheerful and helpful, thought quickly on their feet and had a 'can do' attitude.  The army, which was roped in large numbers to help, were efficient and friendly; army personnel certainly made a good impression on me through this exercise.  Why can't we be this harmonious a city all the time?
