Its fair to say that the Athletics village is still a shambles atm .. plus a footbridge collapsing doesnt breed confidence either ...

A lot of the big names were giving it a miss ... if this continues, others may follow ...

simaler sort of thing will happen when the Fifa World cup comes to plymouth !

I have been to Delhi a couple of times and none of this surprises me......swelteringly hot and humid, noisy, crowded and lots of unpleasant smells with almost everything half finished. Loved other parts of more rural India, but Delhi.....no matter how careful you are....bound to get the famous D Belly"

Apart from Picketts Lock in '05, natch.

You're not trying to tell me all them fat Janners are hungry ?

India has systemic problems Al, too many people, few natural resources, difficulty feeding itself, massive political and religious problems, plus a burgeoning middle class who's aspirations will be hard to meet without creating serious social unrest.

India is no given in my book.
