Clearly everybody is obsessed by tickets at the moment, for getting them or not getting them. I understand that a significant number of websites have been taken down that are offering bogus - whatever one likes to call it - tickets.

Before the bid, during the bid and after the bid successive Mayors declared that this would be the most accessible, inclusive Games ever. Clearly you would have incorporated that statement within your business plan. Can you tell me how far you have gone to fulfilling that?

I just wondered, do you need to do all this travelling for Green issues? We were told that, for example, that Woking was a leading place to go to if you wanted to look at decentralised power generation and, indeed, we employ someone from there to advise us. Would it not be better if you were to seek out examples that were nearer to home and, if necessary, where other world cities have done good jobs, perhaps you seek to bring some of their people over here and employ them in the way that you did with Bob Kiley [former...
