After the comments made by CM readers (letters, CM April) regarding the front cover of the previous issue I feel the need to respond.

If people put this much effort into promoting the industry and looking for the positives rather than pointing out every mistake anyone makes, perhaps the industry would be a better place. Ray O’Rourke has asked journalists to be positive towards the Olympics, but if people in the industry aren’t positive then how can we change the image of construction?
