Not sure who is hyping things to a fever pitch, but basically, yeah,
this kind of regionalism and competitive anger is just a little unjoyful
for me.

As for me personally, I am happy to work with all the different bids to
try to reach out to my contacts to help get us stuff.

I recommend that someone in charge of the UK bid (who would that be?)
get in touch with me privately (and to expedite things I will send an
email randomly to people I have noticed in this thread) about a possible
venue in London.
