a fine british tradition in the javelin.........

Javelin catching, I'd pay to watch that.

We went to Greenwich on Friday to visit the Royal River exhibition at the National Maritime Museum and the Cutty Sark. The whole area is a maze of crowd barriers with many familiar routes completely inaccessible. In order to enter the museum we had to queue through a marquee to be searched, emptying our pockets and bags and being patted down by some squaddies. a LOCOG representative stood watch looking bored to tears.
The Museum itself is completely fenced off from Greenwich Park, and later we sat outside the refreshment cafeteria with the security staff standing by.
The park itself, and the Royal Observatory, are completely closed to the public except for the small garden at the top of the hill bordering on Blackheath.

Nothing that I could see looked ready yet for the Olympics.

We were the usual museum visitors, mostly older people with a few families and overseas tourists, just the sort to terrorise David Starkey I suppose!

Millwall was like that when I went there for a league game in April FF.
The upside was that the Super Saints got 3 vital points !!

If I was interested, I would have thought that Britain should have campaigned to have included some sports in which it could pretty much guarantee medals.......

queuing
Egg and Spoon
Beetle Drives
"Mrs Mackenzies Dead"
Football violence.
Shopping
Etc

Don't you believe it. I once worked with some Americans who could whack us Brits at cribbage just like that!
