Re: Olympic farrago
Though it was meant to be an "austerity" Olympics given the recession -along the lines of the last London Olympics just after WW2. It all cost £600,000 back then - and was all very frugal (see account in link).

Apparently back then all the athletes got a free tin of Ovaltine!
For some reason I can't watch A-b's film in Italy, not authorised, perhaps it's 'cos it's so bad !
