The Wheel website is now saying that the Opening will be the 26th June. <BR/>So, I'm now going to have to cancel the Trip for my family and see if I can get some money back.....<BR/>Why can't an organisation as large as the ORNC get things right? We've known about the impending arrival for months so why the surprise at 'Unforeseen circumstances'? I feel that this reflects very badly on Greenwich as a whole and I'm sure there are many Tourists leaving our Town with the opinion that there isn't much to warrant a second visit. Surely we need to boost the return traffic rather than discourage it??!!Dazzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01129127321210670533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739003444076568330.post-81709517319595526452008-06-19T12:30:00.000+01:002008-06-19T12:30:00.000+01:00I was at the site today and there seems to be no sign of any action. Talking to a lorry driver who was kicking his heels there he said they were waiting on what he called "Big Wigs" to give the go-ahead and the good old "Health and Safety" was also mentioned.daveh48http://www.blogger.com/profile/04437288161360636144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739003444076568330.post-70799270573221919822008-06-18T17:27:00.000+01:002008-06-18T17:27:00.000+01:00Ya boo sucks to the Hague.
