A London Bloggers Tour

The tour of the Olympic Site yesterday was interesting not only for the prime reason - the project itself - but also from the reactions of my fellow passengers and London Bloggers. So, you have the detailed and comprehensive reportage from Ian Visits, the wide ranging report of the Diamond Geezer Pt 1 Pt 2, the concise roundup (with video) of Londonist and the atmospheric audio blogs of the Onionbagblog, captured here in action for posterity. And me? I was struggling with the challenge of crafting a photo from the inside of a bus with dirty windows. Didn't stop me trying though.



I'm off walking in Shropshire over the weekend - back soon.

Who Cares?

This poster - in Stratford High Street - is part of a substantial campaign around London for the Christian Alpha Course - without intending to cause offence - they are a bunch of people who believe god is the answer whatever the question (I suspect they would be happy with that description).

The question here in my mind is, what will happen to the people in the high rise blocks? What you are looking at, in four years time, will be one of the transport hubs for the 2012 Olympics. Those blocks have only recently been spruced up and they house what you would normally term the more economically and socially disadvantaged. Call me a cynic but somehow, that will change between now and 2012, and I doubt that those that live in the block will see much of the benefit. And who cares?

I wasn't going to link to the Alpha Course, but I found their page where you can write your question to god and read other's which amused me.
