Poor Man About Town

Someone is having a laugh. The news came to us that the International Olympic Committee is seriously considering the London application along with the Paris one. It seems that a rather glowing report was made about London's ability to host the games. Ken Livingstone said it would cost every Londoner the price of Walnut Whip. Nothing has been done about London's transport, but Tessa Jowell said that the cheques have already been written, she has yet to say that they are in the post. This is what will happen if London is awarded the games - a campaign along the lines of 'Make do with what we got'. My guess is that we won't, we will avoid using the tubes and busses and walk to work - now here's cracking idea - congestion charging the pedestrian - as soon as the bugger leaves his home, charge him a fiver - charge him a pound for staying in his home. This London Olympic bid is complete bollocks, who are they trying to kid?
