So who's going to watch the London Olympics next year?

Have you been to London recently?

Do you still love London?

Yes - Hoping to be able to cheer on the daughter of someone I know

Yes - June/July 2010 for the first time

Yes - Although I was incredibly ill (pretty sure I had H1N1) I had a lovely time. It was really great to see things and places I've only ever seen in pictures. Wish I could have had longer, as I was planning to meet up with someone but ran out of time.

Probably won't watch the Olympics. Haven't bothered following them for a long time.

Yes went to London recently and it was not the best of times.

Still have fond memories of the place but will only go back in the summer or early autumn.
