&lt;p>You&amp;rsquo;ll congratulate me for noticing there&amp;rsquo;s a sporting event starting today in London town. Too obvious then not to interweave some Olympic statistics into today&amp;rsquo;s Roundup.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>It&amp;rsquo;s 2579 days (just over seven years) since London won the right to host the 2012 Olympics. The exact price tag is still to be totted up, but we&amp;rsquo;re looking at somewhere north or south of 10,000,000,000 sterling; four times the original estimate.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
