Olympic Shooting - just mind the flowers.

There I was, chatting with my mum yesterday, who was letting off steam and having a good old rant about the Olympics (actually, a source of comment all day), when we moved onto the subject of the forthcoming London Olympics in 2012.

"I think it's ridiculous, they're building all new sites for the Olympics, you know."
"What?" I replied, "Aren't they using Wembly Stadium?"
"No, they're building a new stadium for the thing. And the shooting too, building a whole new site for that, which they're going to take down at the end of the Olympics, because they're worried about guns. Why don't they just use sites, they've already got? We've got Wisley for shooting!"

Just as long as they watch out for the flowers!
