I THINK THEY'VE GONE.

Following two weeks of hyper activity, Great Britain returns to normal. Normality means increased inflation, along with all the woes that beset the economies of the world, none more so than the Eurozone.

Nevertheless, with a certain amount of pride, the average 'Brit' can feel a glow, following an event that was extremely well organised. The London 2012 Olympics were a resounding success. In addition, we performed above our weight.

The politicians are all now jockeying for position regarding, what is known as, the legacy. This means throwing more of our taxes at sport, in preparation for Rio 2016. Unfortunately, few voices are being raised enquiring where the money will come from; which part of our £5 trillion national debt won't be cleared, due to an obsession with a sporting spectacle. It could be, that the next Games will be affected by the worsening financial situation. It won't go away, because we keep adding to it by borrowing more and more cash.

Readers would have noted my disapproval of the music chosen for the opening ceremony; well, it didn't improve. The dirges to take drugs by, continued at the closing event. What would have been wrong with the London Welsh Male Voice Choir, singing; 'A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square?'.


THIS LEGACY WON'T BE A BENEFIT, JUST ANOTHER COST.
