CELEBRATING THE BRITISH OLYMPICS

Peter Shanks

Have you been following the Olympics? For me one of the greatest aspects of the Games, besides the amazing athleticism, is the enormous national pride on display for the world. And few nations can match the pride and patriotism of the British, who have done themselves proud as the host nation.

This is wonderfully expressed by Cunard Line president and managing director Peter Shanks in his blog post, "Our Wonderful British Olympics." He writes: "The whole experience at the Olympic park is awesome. We took the Jubilee line from London Waterloo to Stratford Station. Everybody on the tube was chatting to each other – that never happens in London – but on this occasion there was so much excitement that we were all going to see the Olympics in our own backyard."
