Re: Olympic Logo
 

I know this is nothing to do with the olympic signage, but still on the Olympic theme....a newly built swimming pool cannot be used for the Olympic events because it is two inches too short...........what will the world think of us now........? Duh!

They will think we are stupid! Although it's not actually the pool in which the Olympic races will be held. It's in Portsmouth, and was going to be used for teams to train in for the Olympics. Someone forgot that you need space at each end for touch sensitive equipment to measure times.

They can still use it, but will have to use stop watches instead of electric sensors!

Surely, some type of overhead scanning device could be used, in fact off the top of my head I can think of a variety of 'off the shelf', pieces of kit that wouldn't take up any room in the pool itself, for less than the cost of the logo, I'm willing to act as 'cock up consultant', and am willing to work within the H&S boundaries that will ensure the minimum of deaths and maimings from my third world choice of machinery.

You mean like a bar code reader? The swimmers would have to wear swimming caps with black and white bars on them. A bit inconvenient, maybe, and they would look ridiculous, but it might just do the trick!

:alright:

No, nothing so sophisticated, all my designs involve 240v and some waterproof plasters, but please don't press me for the details, or the whole idea may be stolen by a foreign manufacturer.

Yes, but Portsmouth reckon it will lose revenue as a result of the mistake and everyone seems to be blaming everyone else for the booboo.

You mean, 13 years of La.....? Perhaps not!
