Gotta be done by April. I think they have put it off til the heat dies down. The thing is whenever they announce it it will just re-ignite that arguement. Do it now I say

Starting to get a little impatient waiting for this wrap to be unveiled. How much longer?

Work should begin in March, according to ATR.

Re: dressing the city, some of you were asking on the previous page, here's a quote from the article about the kiosks that will be going up around the place:

The "dressing" of the capital in Olympic colours will not happen until mid-summer to avoid a clash with the Queen's Jubilee.

To celebrate the festival of Britain last year the south bank centre lined the river with Southend /Brighton style beach huts. That had a sense of fun, I find that purple structure boring.

I think thats a final nail in the coffin of the round pods for food, shops etc. Its a real pity in my opinion.

Sad! I liked the pods!

My mind is made up. I absolutely love the simplicity of the London stadium. These latest pictures just make me smile. I have always been a bit unsure up to this stage but now I can appreciate what a beatuiful stadium it is. Can't wait for the wrap.
