Go Kiwis. Great to see the NZ rowers do so well. Odd that the
British media talks over the medal ceremonies so that we didn’t hear God Defend
New Zealand, but we did hear God Save The Queen when GB won. Double standard
there.
Seems that so many people have been avoiding the centre of
the city that the tourist industry is suffering. And The Man and I are among them. There are all
sorts of adds around urging people to stay home and obviously no one is taking
any notice of them. Talk about daft
though this morning and tonight he p.a. or if you are British the tannoy has
been making an announcement to the effect that Stratford, which is where the Olympics
are, is to be avoided, as is the Jubilee line, which is one of the lines into Stratford.
Not sure about the logic there. Let me think, now if I was going to the Olympics
where would I go again? And how would I get there?
Also the huge new shopping centre, again at Stratford, will
not be open to the general public this coming weekend, apparently supposed to
be the busiest of the games. Only folks with passes will get in. So let me
think, the ones going to the games will be able to get into the Mall but the
potential shoppers wont. Don’t think the retailers will like that.
