I know this, but it is a sovereign country that competes under its own flag, not GB. Tess will have a fit.

You know Bananiot, as soon as I saw your question, I knew I was wrong! Tess will forgive me - she is kind like that!

City games! So does that mean the rowing and sailing will be in the Thames? That would make the games interesting.

Rowing will be at Eton Dorney near Windsor

Go on the London 2012 website for more info

I can your thinking RichardB- but athletes from all around the UK will be competing - not just London - so as some listeners suggested, the committee should reflect this.

I would hope people from all over the world will be competing bubbles but one would not expect the London games commitee to reflect this in their advertising - what do you expect shots of Kurium ampitheater above the banner 'Welcome to London 2012'

That would please a lot of the English Cypriots out there Richard

As several callers pointed out, their countries will be also competing under the GB flag (i.e. Eire, Wales and Scotland) - not just the English, so why can't they be included?

Now then bubbles listen to me

The flag the British team will be competing under is the Flag of GB ie the union flag-NOT the flag of England OK This flag is made up of the flags of England ,Scotland ,Wales and NI

Eire is not part of GB OK (Tess will not be pleased with You ) Northern Ireland (Ulster)is

Which part of "IT is the City that hosts the Games NOT the country" dont you understand

I understand it all thanks Richard (even if I mixed up my Ireland's earlier! - second apology to Tess!

I was just re-iterating what was asked on the radio last night.

BTW, does the union jack have the Welsh flag? One is definitely missing!

The Union flag has St George's Cross (England), St Andrew's Cross (Scotland) and St Patrick's Cross (Northern Ireland). St David's Cross (for Wales) does not appear as Wales had been annexed by the English at the time the Union flag was designed and was considered to be part of England rather than a separate territory.

Thanks for the confirmation Magnus.

I thought the bus was fine but when it started to open I expected something more exciting than that. And what was that with Becham? What was the point to put him there?

What about the London tourist chiefs showing a promotional video featuring a picture of Myra Hindley during their post-Beijing Games party.

The video featured a notorious painting of the Moors murderer by artist Marcus Harvey, which shows her face made up of thousands of children's handprints.

What sort of message is that sending to the world??

Perhaps they'll invite Gary Glitter to manage the creche at the 2012!

Beckham, I believe is an Olympic Ambassador - for the 2012 games that is!

I did not witness this, but I heard about it on the news! Absolutely disgraceful - what were they thinking?

A definite no to your Glitter suggestion, thank you!
