Copied and pasted the top part from the FE and somehow the bit underneath appeared as well.

All I was going to add was it will probably be the most expensive show on earth as well.

I am all for it using dedicated channels for the news that way I can stay clear of them.I like watching the news programs as I have not a lot else to do during the day but keep up with the news.

Thank goodness I can view some of the US news channels as there are more important things in the world today than the Uk Olympics.

Also the state of the world today I think the UK will get less visitors come to watch the games that they are expecting and all I can see is a large financial mess at the end of it.

I'm mighty glad the golf has centre stage on Auntie Beeb ... phew! ...that was a close one!

TV program on about some of the rooms available.And some of them were in a pathetic state.So everything not that rosy for visitors.

All I am implying is because Financial state of the world today we will probably get less visitors than we were expecting.

I think £650 million it was going to cost for the security alone and that was last month before the lack of Security personnel was announced.Goodness knows what it will cost now.

My doom and gloom forecast may be wrong but only time will tell.

I am all for dedicated news channels for the Olympic news coverage as there may be millions wanting to watch them but there will also be millions that don't want to watch them.I am afraid I am one of the latter.
