  1. Well it may have been a good showboat for UK,just hope the tourists don't sue for misleading advertising when they see the real shambles that exists.

    You can be 100% sure that the average joe wont benefit one iota from any revenue that may come in thats for sure

  2. Its was successful yes,but all will be forgotten in six months,but the only people who have or will make a profit are the already rich.

    What positives...

    Some medals..

    And a short sports revival.

  3. In my opinion the games will cost this country billion s and we will still be paying for it in 30 years time.

    Ok the rich will probably get richer at our expense,but whats new there??

     

    Feelgood factor for a month or 2...thats it.

     

    Just hope the tourists dont get to see the real uk,over 800 soup kitchens in many major towns now,more urgently needed.

    Patients dieing because money is not available for treatments etc,etc.

    The real uk,not the rose tinted olympic mirage.

  4. Olympics gold medals well worth it.

    They only cost £4.5 million.each.

    Think health,schools,jobs,jobs,etc

    That is not counting the real costs of those who have lost out bigtime,Businesses forced to close,loss of business etc.

    Sorry to be a killjoy but just a waste of money.

  5. Sport is like Marmite,love it or hate it.

    Dont personally think it will do anything for this country,the only ones that will benefit are the already rich.

    Ordinary people are losing money hand over foot,Businesses having to close down because staff and goods cant get to them,Taxi drivers are actually taking time off for the Olympic period.(Appropriate phrase considering the bloody shower that are running it...)

    Anyone who works or has business in london area is suffering.

    This is without the stress and inconvenience that the road closures and olympic lanes have caused to commuters etc.Its making peoples journeys 4 times as long as usual.

     

    Olympics in UK fine,but what a stupid place to have it.

    They should have found somewhere central uk near an airport away from a large city to do it.

    We will be paying bill for this for 20-30 years,and will never see any benifit to the general population from it.

  6. long shot i know but worth asking.

    Trying to buy a cheapish lathe and other equipment as i want to make some bits for trike and also start making a model steam engine for boat.

    So if you have anything that may be useful let me know please

  7. If you could go back in time and rearrange things when would you go back to and how old would you want to be.(Forgot to say that you would still know what you know now) & why.
