Did I really hear Seb Coe say on the Today programme that I could be turned away from an Olympic venue if I were wearing the wrong logo on my teeshirt? ...or was I dreaming? (I hope it was the latter)

There is a fascistic aspect to 'brand compliance' this year which has all but completely dispelled any enthusiasm I might have had for the games.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if what you think you heard is in fact the case."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

How do I organise a mass act of civil disobedience?
This is grotesque
You've charged the Olympics to The National Lottery and my London Council Tax, Mr Coe - what I wear is my choice

I think you might be beaten up by the police as well
there's a butcher where I live that has a blackboard outside the shop with a special offer on "Gold Olympic Lincolnshire Sausages" and lets hope he pelts the "ad police" with tripe if they try to get him to take it down.
And of course the wonderful Olympic Cafe in Lower Marsh, a fave haunt of many orchestral musician and SBC technicians has had a spot of bother as well and had to change it's name in spite of the fact that it's been there for years............... I really hope that the whole thing turns into a disaster for the organisers and this ridiculous nonsense .......... my ferry to France is at 2pm tomorrow

On Today Seb Coe said you couldn't go to the Games in a Pepsi tee shirt but you would probably be alright wearing Nike trainers.
Locog then said Seb Coe was confused and spectators could wear what they liked but the stewards could only wear Adidas trainers (I presume new ones will be bought for them out of Ammy's Council Tax?)

Sorry, but for anyone who is not an officially accredited Olympic Sponsor all words which include a double "O" (and all James Bond films) are prohibited for the duration on account of their similarity to the Olympic Ring Symbol.Originally posted by Caliban View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment
