The Tour de France has come to London. I assume that after the huge success of the Olympics everything else just pales into insignificance but London just seems to take 'Le Tour' in its stride. It's as though this major sporting event rode through the streets of London every Monday morning. Not many people in the Trafalgar Square 'fan park'.

World Cup fever never really took off. By the time pub
landlords had raised their beer sponsored bunting the whole thing was over
(from an English perspective at least). All that remains are Thomas Heatherwick
buses, re-sprayed black and plastered with Adidas sponsored footballers and
logo. Unfortunately the players featured, such as Steven Gerard and Louis
Suarez have long been supping fancy cocktails by holiday pools instead of dazzling us all on Brazilian
pitches.
Whatever’s next……….bring it on.
