I always thought it was here here to, until dulwich eagle pointed out its actually hear hear, here here actually seems to make more sense, but unfortunately its hear hear!

Goddamitt and another bit of knowledge
Everyday you learn something
The day you don't
GIVE UP

Let's hope so:

"Decisions taken by Boris Johnson as the mayor of London to convert the Olympic Stadium for West Ham United’s use cost almost £300m of public money and have saddled the stadium operator with annual losses of about £20m, a highly critical review has found.

The review, by the accountants Moore Stephens for Johnson’s successor, Sadiq Khan, concluded that the process “went awry” when Johnson ran a new bidding process in 2011 and all the financial risk and costs were taken on by the public sector. West Ham, a Premier League football club with its own Boleyn Ground to sell, won the bid to occupy the converted 60,000-seat stadium, but the £323m cost of conversion – a £133m overrun of the original £190m estimate – was almost entirely paid with public money.

The rent agreed for West Ham, £2.5m per year, does not approach covering the costs of operating the stadium, with which the new deal burdened the public sector. The current publicly owned operator, E20, is losing £10-£20m a year, the report stated – including losing £2.25m hosting West Ham to play football, which costs £4.75m a season.

Newham borough council, which loaned £40m towards the conversion of the stadium for West Ham, has accepted it will not see that money repaid and has withdrawn from the E20 partnership. Khan announced that he, through the mayoral body the London Legacy Development Corporation, will take control of the stadium and seek to staunch its losses.

“What has been presented is simply staggering,” Khan said, in scathing criticisms of Johnson. “Not for the first time, it reveals a bungled decision-making process that has the previous mayor’s fingerprints all over it."

Apparently, according to the Mayor on LBC this morning, West Ham put an offer in so Boris countered with an offer that was even better value for them . BJ thought the retractable seats cost £55k when it was actually £10m.

The bloke may be erudite and clever in certain fields, but he's also s*** at his job. I mean really s***.

Khan was saying some of the things what was in the 200 page report. What he says about parking is neither here nor there in this discussion.
It was on lbc around half eleven this morning

I think they are experimenting with this in some cities in Europe, be interesting to see if it works. If the public transport is good enough then it could but only if people want it to.
