Re: The Olympics.

I think it would be nice to have the olympics in the UK if we weren't in the middle of a recession.

Billions of pounds of taxpayers money is being spent, with no chance at all of recovering that money. And when you think about all the cutbacks that are being made, then I think it is a disgrace.

It almost feels like the rest of the contenders didn't really want it this time, so they let the UK have it, because we were stupid enough to take it on when we can't afford it.

As for Scotland. Well I can understand the lack of interest, due to the travel distances to actually see any events.
