More great news about the Olympics, via the BBC:
"Residents at an estate in east London have received a leaflet saying soldiers could be placed there during the Games. The Ministry of Defence says it is evaluating sites for surface-to-air missiles for the Olympic Games, and could place them at residential flats. It says part of an air-defence system might be based at a water tower on the estate, where 700 people live."
This really does reassure you that the Olympics is a worthwhile event and that it is being managed sensitively and sensibly for the benefit of us all.
