Well Done Us!
« on: August 12, 2012, 11:25:50 AM »
With the spectacles put on most notably by Sydney and Beijing, I was sure London 2012 was going to be a cheap, amateur disaster. I had no interest in it at all and just wanted it to start so it could finish and go away. Korea flags fiasco on day 1 showed what was afoot.

Well, we've watched it every evening and from opening ceremony till today, the last day, it has been fabulous.

Well done Team GB and all those who planned it and worked at it to make it a brilliant success.

We have always watched the Olympics and were really looking forward to them being in the UK.  Well from start to finish they did not disappoint, we have been glued to the telly for 2 weeks

Well done to all our competitors who were egged on by the massive home support.

All around the country pubs and clubs have benefited from the supporters who came out to celebrate and to encourage their local heroes.

It's been amazing! A fabulous event that's lifted us all. As a nation we have raised the bar, our medal count is commendable. Every single competitor has given their all. The lottery funding has provided much needed training facilities and the results are evident. I'm bursting with pride. Well done everyone!

Agreed - it has made us all feel proud - irrespective of politics / race / religion - if you are British you suddenly want to "stick your chest out" (no quips please   :) )

That has to be good !

As one of the biggest doubters I'll put my hands up and admit how totally wrong I was.

Simply superb - congratulations to everyone involved. ;D
