The shambles of the Vancouver Winter Olympics is providing a valuable object lesson for the organisers of the London 2012 Olympics.
The trouble is that the London Olympics are already massively over budget (£12BN against an initial budget of around £3BN), and have a much derided logo (Lisa Simpson giving head).
One wonders what other disasters can befall the London Olympics?
Lots actually, most especially those relating to our third world transportation system.
Even Tess Jowell, Olympics Minister, seems to have realised this. She told the Evening Standard:
"There are certainly lessons we can learn. We need to trial getting people to and from the venues so we are absolutely clear about the stress on the transport system and we can anticipate any problems."
Good luck with that then!
