Or Yorkshire! They should have had the Olympics nationwide, using the
facilities already existing.

My main thoughts are for the small business thrown off their premises

The Olympics are awarded to a city not a country.

true, but the UK wide national lottery funds are being raided to pay for
the games. If "london" is hostingb the games, why are some events taking
