Steel plectrums?
I'd imagine that would ruin your strings very quickly. A plastic equivalent I can definitely see a use for.

It seems strange to have had a camp site within the M25, let alone in Stratford! Good idea though, for giving people more options for accommodation.

I've got a few metal plectrums, but I find they make a scratchy sound. People use them though. I think Phil Collen does and Brian May uses coins.

The camp site was a sports field near Hackney Marshes. I expect every type of accommodation did well that summer. I just read that area has seem a big rise in house prices.

That is really cool. I think it would be neat get a chance to go to the Olympics sometimes . I am not sure which events I would like to go to. Probably the ones that are easiest to get tickets for! What do they use the stadium for now? Does it just sit there like the facilities at a lot of the other countries that have hosted the games?

We went for any events we could get. Some tickets were fairly cheap, but we were lucky to get that many. The main stadium is used by West Ham soccer club, but is still used for other athletics. We went to the World Championships there. The velodrome is nearby and is also still used.

Interesting!

Yay!
