Summary: The negative build up to the Olympics was a disgrace….the British press should get a grip…they were criticizing everything. First it was the security (which was a bummer but it was solved)…then the transport…Next, .The hotels took a bit of a hammering….they had to drop their prices by 80% in some cases….which probably brought the price down to what it usually is... Greed again…well this time they got their eye wiped. It was the same as the millennium celebrations….everyone wacked up their prices and no-one showed up. Even when our athletes get into a final and don’t win a medal…it’s “She only managed 5th place”…we are talking about a nobody reporter who has achieved NOTHING criticizing- an athlete who is not only the best in the country but is 5th in the WORLD!!....pathetic. Clare Balding got a bit of a telling off for suggesting Rebecca Adlington was expected to get a gold but ONLY got a bronze…..she did apologise. The medals are pouring in…the emotion is overpowering…anyone who doesn’t get a lump in their throat at the medal ceremonies needs to get a life.What a refreshing change to see all these youngsters setting an example to all those people moaning and layabouts who riot and steal and place no input into society…and get all the publicity. Perhaps one or two of them will realise that he only place success comes before work is in the dictionary…..but I doubt it.
