I thought it had been confirmed in full with Kimbolton? They seemed to think so last time I spoke to them?

maybe All of the Olympic committee haven't received there cash bribes yet lol :lol: they maybe haven't chosen one yet

maybe its a security matter, they dont want people to know who they are taking on. would be a perfect chance for a terrorist to get involved with the company and legally bring explosives into the Olympics lol.

Exactly why LOCOG was registered as a _private_ company, despite the billions of public spending it directs.
