Day 27 would put it on Friday 15th June 2012, later in the day. Still time to put your camera batteries on charge!

Possibly because it's the 2012 Olympics and not the 2011 ones?

Five whole days to trek it around a tiny bit of Central London, and we'll be lucky to get a few seconds glimpse. But, of course, these games are not London centric, and our hard-earned tax money is being well spent! Remember this well next time you pass one of our public facilities that's been permanently trashed to save a few tens of thousands a year.

You may have a point there.
