The Olympics were a great advert for London, and GB as a whole. I know I am biased, but I think that these were the greatest games certainly in my lifetime. Last night's closing ceremony was just superb. <br /><br />And never doubt the power of synergism. Combined with the Jubilee, I think the games just catapulted us to centre of the world stage.
