Paris wins!
An announcement at 13.46pm today by the IOC confirms Paris will host the 2012 Olympics. The announcement an hour earlier in London's favour was 'never meant seriously' according to Jacques Rogge, the IOC's president.
Parisians are looking forward to pointing out how it was probably the English reputation for terrible food that made the IOC members, all of whom are reputed to eat food, favour Paris.
