How does folk feel about the Olympics taking place over the border. Think they have been such a waste of money, as everthing cost so much more than what was projected, unlike the Commonwealth games which are being organised on budget ( at the moment ). Dont get me wrong, I do like to watch, but why oh why did we need to bid for these games when the costs drain the country of cash. I have through my work met about 12 people working on the London Olympics, ie full time employees benefiting out of the London games, and eh none of them were from the UK. Dutch, Spanish, Canadian, aMerican, Brazilian and a Sudanese guy. Are we really going to benefit from this open cheque book, and before anyone thinks its just the Olympics, I wouldnt have had the Commonwealth games either, it just seems the Scottish government has kept the costs a bit more realistic in the pricing, maybe a lesson learnt from the Edinburgh trams nightmare
