London Taxis is being inundated with enquiries and bookings from the foreign media.
This week alone we have covered bookings for French Production TV regarding the upcoming Royal Wedding . They filmed an in depth interview with Dickie Arbiter, Royal correspondent, on all aspects of William and Kate’s special event.
Plus another booking from ABC News Corp, interviewing one of our licensed London taxi drivers.
ABC News Corp wanted to hear what the word on the street was regarding the Royal Wedding and the 2012 London Olympics.
There is no better way of gauging public opinion than talking to a licensed London black taxi driver.
Everyday thousands of people use London’s black taxis and more often or not voice their opinions on current affairs to their taxi driver.
Both are major events and are certainly good for London’s licensed black taxi business.
Roll on the Royal Wedding and the London Olympics both events will give a much needed and welcome boost to London’s economy.

A who’s who of prominent figures from the arts world will be recruited to overhaul the Cultural Olympiad due to accompany the 2012 games in London, after a lottery boost of almost £16m for the project.

The attempt to link an ambitious programme of cultural events to the games was hailed by Lord Coe, the chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog), as an attempt to revive the spirit of the ancient Olympics. But it has faced criticism from some senior figures within the arts world for lacking focus and wasting money.

Tony Hall, chief executive of the Royal Opera House, was today confirmed as the chair of a new Cultural Olympiad board convened by Locog and the government in an attempt to revitalise the project. He said he had recruited a series of senior figures who would “want to get things done” and allow the Cultural Olympiad to, in effect, become a coalition of the biggest arts institutions in the UK.

The board will comprise Arts Council chief executive Alan Davey, Royal Shakespeare Company director Vicky Heywood, Barbican managing director Sir Nicholas Kenyon, BBC director general Mark Thompson, Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota, the mayor’s adviser on arts and culture Munira Mirza, and Jude Kelly, the Southbank Centre artistic director who has been overseeing the project to date.

Projects which have already been announced include an international Shakespeare festival, a UK-wide film project for young people and World River, a music festival to take place in London.Hall said the £16m in Lottery money would achieve that but that it was more important to forge a spirit of co-operation between all in the arts world and the Olympic organisers. Hall said he would review all the current plans in the autumn to ensure there was “clear leadership” and focus energies on the months of 2012 leading up to the games rather spreading events throughout the next three years.

“I have always believed that the Olympic and Paralympic games presents a fantastic opportunity for the arts in this country,” said Hall, who will report to the main Olympic board. “We have the ability to introduce a whole new generation to arts and culture and show the world what a creative and inspirational country this is.”

Locog, which said it always intend to pass on responsibility for the cultural olympiad to a dedicated board, will retain responsibility for the opening and closing ceremonies of the games.

USAIN Bolt is aiming to go one better than the legendary Carl Lewis and defend his Olympic sprint double at London 2012.

Lewis won the 100m and 200m in Los Angeles but could only bank a gold and silver four years later in Seoul.

And Bolt – who scorched to a new 150m world record at the BUPA Great City Games in Manchester – wants to move upgrade his superstar status to legend in London.

“I want to be a legend and defending my titles would be the way to do that,” he said.

“It will not be easy but no great feat is ever easy.”

Bolt carved four tenths of a second off the previous world best despite competing under slate gray skies and teeming rain.

And with rivals Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay monitoring his performance, and shamed sprinter Dwain Chambers still babbling about his chances despite a disappointing weekend performance, Bolt promised there is more to come.

“I still have a lot of work to do but I’m getting there,” added Bolt.

“I think this has helped because I haven’t run a serious race all season. I think I could go faster because I’m not in the best of shape and I slipped at the start.

“I am hoping by Berlin I will be 100 percent and I’m not trying to peak before then.”

He won last year’s world championships in Manchester, his first time in the event, and will defend that title in Poland this week.

Put simply, omnium is the decathlon of cycling. It is made up of five events (200m sprint, 5km scratch race, 3000m individual pursuit, 15km points race and 1km time trial) and finds the most consistent rider across different disciplines.

It requires the top-end speed of a sprinter, endurance of a pursuit rider and craft and guile of a points and scratch race cyclist.

The omnium was popular on the cycling programme until the late 1960s when it disappeared. No one is really sure why.

It made a return to the world championships in 2007 and Godfrey instantly knew it was his chance to make his mark as an individual on the world stage.

Suggestions have gathered momentum recently that the omnium will be added to the programme for the 2012 London Olympics, along with the women’s team’s pursuit.

“It’s quite political to get new events at the Olympics,” says Godfrey. “I doubt it will be in London. Maybe later on. It is an event crowds like following because it’s all done in one day and people can follow their favourite riders.”

Godfrey will concentrate on the madison, a two-person race where riders fling their team-mates around the track, if the omnium is not added to the London programme.

Multi-Olympic champion Michael Phelps has committed himself to the 2012 London lympics after contemplating his participation following the furore after he was pictured apparently using illegal drugs.

The 23-year-old was last month suspended for three months by USA Swimming and the governing body also withdrew all financial support after a photograph was published of him apparently inhaling from the type of glass pipe used to smoke cannabis. His sponsor Kellogg then announced they would not renew their contract with the swimmer when it expired at the end of February.

Phelps, who became the most successful Olympian in history when he won eight gold medals to add to the six he claimed in Athens four years previously, also confirmed he would compete at the World Championships in Rome this summer. He does not, though, expect to be in the same peak condition as last year.

“I think I can get back to some kind of racing form,” Phelps continued. “For every day you miss, it takes you twice as long to get back – and I’ve been out of the water for about five months. So it will take about 10 months to really get back to where I was.”

Phelps also admitted he had made a huge error of judgement when he was pictured with the now infamous bong at a party at the University of South Carolina last November, although the swimmer has always stopped short of admitting smoking cannabis.
