I noticed from reading some local paper headlines in petrol stations on the way down to Cornwall the other day that this whole peoples olympics thing is a bit of a sham
Same thing seems to be happening in a number of places down here - nobody local will be taking part in the relay. People are getting parachuted in from some place else.
Same thing here in Frome - my girlfriend applied on behalf of her father who gives up a lot of his spare time for schoolboy sports & should be the perfect candidate if you believe all the bumf they put out to encourage people to apply - and some athletics club from Yorkshire is doing it.
Is this going on anywhere else?
Perhaps they think we'd turn up in smocks with bits of straw hanging out of our mouth or something
