News has reached me of a breakdown in Anglo-American relations at Olympic delivery partner CLM. Word from my man inside is that the Brits at Laing O'Rourke and Mace are getting fed up with the largesse of their stateside partners from CH2M Hill.
Most of the Yanks are being put up in swanky hotels or hired St John's Wood terraces. My source said: "It's getting a bit much - they are demanding the best of everything when all this bad press is swirling around about the budget."
Tempers have also flared about computer systems. My man said: "They are trying to impose US design software, which isn't compatible with any UK contractors." Have a nice day...
