[Margaret Pilkington]

The olympics lost their sporting Kudos years a go.......it isn't about sport anymore......though they(the organisers would have you believe it is)....it is about business, big business. Recent Olympics have not done much for the countries in which they were held....and they certainly never made a profit.

There are quite a lot of us who are tax payers, whose money will be spent on these lavish events, who actually couldn't give a flying fig about any of it.
In case you are in any doubt I am one of them. I am hoping that someone will point me in the direction of a warm, dry cave where TV reception is non-existent for the duration of the event.

I hate sport. Any sport. All sport. Waste of time, energy and money.
