You could not be more wrong MM.


Almost every sport is represented, is actually the problem. Its adopting sports where the olympic medal means very little to that particular sport, tennis, golf and football being examples.

Oh GG. I get the same reaction from my daughter.


Don't I appeal to any age group? :( :)

I dislike these games for the disruption they are causing and for the false sense of "everything's alright" that comes with it! I am now working for the NHS in Tower Hamlets with people in mental health crisis and our client group is increasing by the day with direct connections to the games, crowds, number of police, travel problems expected etc.


Pretty poor post MM - a touch of arrogance and superiority crept in didn't it? It is fine to think the Olympics are a load of BS you know!


And as for sports, the only ones I care about are football and cricket. Cricket is not included and the footy that will be contested is not real and has not even attracted ticket sales - so that tells you how rubbish it will be!

8am?? I wish! try 6:30am..in Can Wharf just 10 mins away from Stratford..so yes my journey will be affected.

Which proves my point!


If you're at your desk at 6.30am how the hell are the Olympics going to affect your journey to work? You'll be passing through London Bridge at 6am. I doubt you'll even notice any difference let alone it being "absolute bloody nightmare."

    • Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
