The Olympics Poll

[NoMercy]

Are you:

1) Looking forward to it?

2) Dreading the disruption?

3) Not really bothered?

[redman41]

Looking forward to watching some of it on TV NoMercy :-)

[joggerjayne]

1) Looking forward to it? ... YES

2) Dreading the disruption? ... NO, NOT WHERE WE ARE

3) Not really bothered? ... MMM, JUST A TEENY BIT DISILLUSIONED

[funnygirl]

Nom I am not looking forward to this event at ALL!
As I work in central London and am affected by the tube, I have been told I will be 'homeworking' for the duration.
And as I live a couple of boroughs away, everything will really be disrupted.
The Olympic torch is coming down my high street, oh joy.

[ummmm]

1) Not really

2) N/A

3) Meh...

[EcclesCake]

A combination of all 3.

I am looking forward to seeing Mr Cake in his Games Maker outfit though!

2) no doubt 2 Londoners are just being dumped on left right and center, there are people near sites that won't be allowed to park outside their own homes. We are being told to take time off work, not drive down this or that road and stay off public transport.

Anyone who raises a voice is told to like it or lump it oh we will be paying for it for generations and there will be awhite elephant in Stratford

Looking forward to some of it. At least it'll be on TV at a decent hour.

Don't think any disruption will happen here.

[rugeleyboy]

3!

[flip_flop]

1 - No
2 - Yes (I work in Central London)
3 - I think the Olympics is a staggering waste money. I also think we were misled (for misled, read lied to) over the budget. How the budget increased from approx £2bn 6 years ago to over £12bn now simply beggars belief. If we weren't lied to, then the original budget setters were utterly incompetent. Budgets are, of course, moveable feasts, but being out by 500% is ridiculous.

Plus, frankly, I really couldn't give a tinker's cuss which African is faster than another African in the 10,000 metres, or which country wins the synchronised swimming.

I'm really looking forward to it...............won't have to get up at stupid o'clock to watch the events I'm interested in.

[Brenden]

Looking forward to watching it on TV, but think Londoners have been treated appallingly, not only have their rates and taxes gone up to pay for it but they did not even get first refusal of Olympic tickets - I would be ticked off if I lived in the capital still.

[NoMercy]

I didn't just mean travel disruptions but also disruptions to your favourite tv programmes etc.

[albaqwerty]

aaaarrgg, never thought about the TV progs. I'm sure Corrie and EE will be fine tho.

[treebear]

option 1 If the British team preform well it will be a good spectacle

[mccfluff]

c

[giveup]

No,No,Yes.

[mccfluff]

lothough the olympic torch passes through here, would be good to see that

[China Doll]

Agree entirely with funnygirl and flip_flop. I am already being asked to come in later and leave later and have provisonally told them what orifice to shove that idea in... but will probably end up doing it anyway.

[beattie819]

I am looking forward to going to equestrian events, and seeing the beautiful olympic horses close up.Only a fiver for the tickets.
No worriers about TV disruptions, it doesnt happen often!
