Yesterday we went to a 2012 procurement meeting and heard several mind-boggling facts which we’re happy to share with you.

Did you know that they’re spending £130 million a month building the venues? Or that that (love writing that) they’re going to increase it to £160 million a month?

The media centre alone is big enough to house five jumbo jets - but I reckon it will be more useful to house broadcasters in.

The Olympic park will have 800,000 people on site during the games.

And the security fence is 15km long and 6m high which is probably only just high enough to keep out pole-vaulting terrorists.

And my point is? Well after all the endless debates about costs etc it’s all starting to become real now. Quite exciting really.
