I was wrong, thanks to the Armed Forces.
Transport being a nightmare.
I understand it worked!
The Opening Ceremony being excruciatingly embarrassing.
I was wrong.
The Home Team not delivering the results.
I was wrong.
The Closing Ceremony being a disaster. Well …

Happy to be wrong … Happy for Team GB … Happy for Lord Coe … Happy for Boris.
Plenty of people expressed all those fears which you mention (not me I hasted to add; being a fan from the first announcement). What I don't understand is why so many people felt the need to expend so much time and energy in saying how everything would go wrong. This is one of the problems of Britain - so many people have to be negative about things from the very beginning and without any specialist knowledge. Pontificating on the internet doesn't change the eventual outcome one iota.
