I did write a long screed about the Olympics here, but it came over as rather petulant, so I deleted it. A billion quid of your hard-earned taxpayers money being piddled away every day for a couple of weeks will do that to you.

Shame, lots of us out here would have been in agreement...
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about how there will be ecconomic benifits, not sure how I am going to get any benifit for my extra Coucnil Tax over the next few years
ReplyDeleteI'm with you all on this. Although I do enjoy watching sport and will be watching some of the events from time to time I do think the expenditure is way over the top by a few billion pounds! They keep telling us it is of benefit to us all but I would dearly love to know how! Will my taxes be reduced in any way? No way!

I watched the opening ceremony which I thought was quite good.
ReplyDeleteTonight I saw the highlights of the GB women's football match against Brazil. I might actually watch their next match against Canada if I remember. Other than that there is just the triathlons that I'm planning on watching, anything else will be because the rest of the family are watching something.
I really do hope that there will be some benefit comes out of these games for the country as a whole but more importantly for the communities around the venues.
A week into the Games and I'm ashamed to say I am enjoying some of the sport. The athletes are saving the spectacle.
ReplyDeleteBut the Enforced Happiness, with Boris Johnson telling us all to smile? Ugh!
