I think 2012 Opening should Play to Our Strengths (tm).
First off, the 'olympic' and 'paralympic' budgets should be the same.
Second off, we should learn from China - a really wonderful arial display is what's needed, with just a few clips of dancing. So that's three spitfires (including one flown by a woman), some vulcans, the Red Arrows and a lot of paragliders. Probably not fireworks.
Or perhaps we should have nothing to see AT ALL. Just music/sound.
If it's going to be (positively) British, it should be a) funny. b) diverse. c) creative. d) eccentric
