RevJim 0 #26 July 6, 2005 QuoteGreat news, it's certainly going to inject some cash where its needed. Yea, it's not like they'll use this as as excuse to raise prices on just about everything.... How much is a pint of Newcastle over there now? Last I heard, it was cheaper for me to drink your beer here than for you to drink it there... It's your life, live it!

Zoter 0 #29 July 6, 2005 Last I heard the projects are going to payed for by extra taxation of LONDONERS and its neighbours.....and not the rest of the country.... Apparantly we are the only ones who are going to benefit from the facilities after the Olympics have finished.....( I'm getting a mental picture of the Dome here after it served its purpose.....and getting a very sour taste in my mouth !) On the other hand....I can move out for a couple of weeks...take a skydiving vaction to FLA ... rent my pad out for some extortionate price ( I'm only a couple of miles away from the site of the Olympic Village)...and still come home without losing any money ... So maybe there is something good in us getting the Olympics.... So it cant be all bad.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
