Obviously by could hit they mean will slam £9 billion and go all the way
through. The thing that surprised me is the cost of Beijing is alluded to be around
£20billion by lord coe. So the Chinese spent £20billionish without exposing themselves to real market conditions let alone the cost of doing anything in london. Considering the fact Wembley still hasn't been completed and has become the most expensive statium ever, does anyone actually expect the damn thing to be built on time let alone on budget?
Does anyone even care about the olympics? Its basically a collection of sports that noone cares about at any other time.
