Ben Ainslie

We got to meet and greet Ben Ainslie in London yesterday.

Ben holds an impressive number of awards for sailing. Three Olympic Gold Medals, ten times world champion and nine times European champion.

He was the first to carry the Olympic flame in the UK as it set of from Land's End on its 70 day relay and 8,000 torch bearers.

Ben will now focus on training for his 4th gold medal.

You can tweet you message of support for Ben in the lead up to London 2012 Olympic Games by using the hash tag #BenandRita.

Broadgate Venus

The 5 ton Broadgate Venus created by Fernando Botero placed here in Exchange Square in 1990. Bang in the middle of the business area. Does she represent the excesses of business or a comment on the size zero women one is more likely to see in this district?
This is a Monday to Friday area. During the weekend nothing is open and the square is generally isolated.
