Or Yorkshire! They should have had the Olympics nationwide, using

My main thoughts are for the small business thrown off their

The Olympics are awarded to a city not a country.
Yes but once awarded to London the committee could have used venues
anywhere in the country.

Don't venues have to be specified in the bid document i.e. b4 the games
are awarded
