Torch Bearers All

So it would appear Wolfie and I are going to the Olympics after Locog debited £216 out of my account on Tuesday. This represents about a third of the tickets we applied for but I am not going to work out which tickets we have actually got. I don't mind which events we see - it's just great to be going and no doubt I will find out on the 24th.

Also the price of ham has reduced from 62p to 56p which was a nice surprise. Plus it's really warm and sunny. Happy :-)

I bought about £600 worth and nothing has been taken out of my account. Plus i've had to pay an Olympics tax levied on all Londoners.

What a load of farsical nonsense.

So I assume you believe Londoners should get first choice on tickets then?

If we're f**king paying tax for it, yes! You think we shouldn't? Let's see your money

I think to deny everyone else the chance to get tickets would have been wrong. Perhaps a set proportion should have gone to Londoners whilst the rest to a free ballot. That may have been fairer (although I am sure some of my taxes are also funding this and London will get the vast proportion of the economic benefits anyway so perhaps it IS fair).
