Oh, yes, I liked that as well.  As well as Mayor Becker's (the mayor of 
SLC) rejoinder that he'd be happy to provide your PM with a map of "the 
middle of nowhere" so he doesn't get lost - and a list of things he'll 
find in Utah that you won't find in the UK. :)

I'm glad I was able to watch the BBC version of the ceremonies - very 
little in the way of "you Americans are too stupid to understand the 
references so we'll talk over the music that you obviously don't care 
about to explain the things that anyone with a modicum of Google-fu can 
find out on their own".
