We all have codes assigned to our roles and I don't want to give anything away. I reckon it's pretty damn amazing that, in the days of social media, 10,000 people have managed to keep the show secret so far. We were only told about our segment, but you get to chat to other members of the cast and I think I've managed to piece most of the show together. It will be awesome!

Tee hee - I'm in the Opening and Closing too; might be quite a crowd of us heading back to ED from Stratford.


After the actual Ceremony shouldn't be a problem since the Overground is running til 3am during the Games. Getting home after the dress rehearsals might be more challenging depending on how the timings go!

At the moment I'm driving to Forest Hill & getting the Overground ( when it's working !!) to Canada Water then Jubilee to Stratford.The train bit takes less than 30 mins. Not sure how to get back in the last week of rehearsals as we don't finish till 11.30 some nights, any suggestions?

Loz, yes we MAR's are on ' the field of play ' for pretty much the whole time ,yaaaay !!!!


Applespider you're right about 23.46 being the last Overground, it's such a long trek back to the station !


There seem to be alot of ED'rs involved in one way or another, maybe we should have an All Olympic Volunteers thread so we can keep in touch?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
