olympic boycott

I am going to boycott the Olympics.
I know this will cause great consternation among the organisers as I am such a fan of all things sporty but it is turning into a marketing event with a bit of sport on the side.
The sales and distribution of tickets is a joke. I only know one person who has managed to buy tickets but there seem to be lots available to buyers of chocolate bars.  One usually equates sport and health so perhaps tickets should be given away with the purchase of fruit and veg. 
And now we have the proposed opening ceremony at a cost of £27million being the most expensive village green ever!!  Artificial rain for goodness sake!!
And the country is supposed to be how many billions in debt?  

Monday 11th June

Now I know what it feels like to live at the bottom of a pond.
It has rained all day.  I put a 50litre container underneath a leaky gutter and it filled up in two hours!!
Much to my frustration I have a large water butt just waiting to be connected to the downpipe.
