It's certainly a very different atmosphere down here
The whole place went doolally about the Lympics, obviously. Just like Yorkshire has about the Tour. But the Grand Depart of the Tour seems to have completely crept under the radar here. Lea Bridge Road - nothing. Not a sign on a shop, not a single bit of bunting, obviously nothing painted on any roads or pavements - nothing at all.
