It has just been announced that London will host the 2012 Olympics. My interest in this is purely "local" in nature, rather than national. The sailing events for the competition are going to be staged on the Dorset coast, meaning a massive upheaval in the area. I don't know anything about the economic issues, and I really don't care about what it will do for employment in the area... I just feel sorry for all of those Olympiads who will have to point their boats' pointy-bits in the direction of this county. My sister is happy that "we" will get "our" relief road, although I don't have the faintest clue how that will improve the quality of my life.
Um... so really this post is just a pointless rant from an apathetic, non-sporty, non-patriotic person. It just unnerves me to think of global attention focussing on this little corner of the, er, globe.
