Just charge the customer, add a margin and pass on. You'll be able to get away with murder this summer: "Gotta charge you extra 'cos of the LOCOG restrictions chief". Well every other bugger is, if you can't beat them, join them.

There was a guy getting quite irate about it on Newsnight last night. I'd just got back from circuit training and was full of old ale and fish'n'chips so fell asleep but he was quite right, you shouldn't mix sport with unhealthy eating :burp:
Apparently it's the biggest McDs in the country if not the world, I can't remember which, blame over-exercising which made me too tired to concentrate. :hic:
Al best you look away now or you're going to need some stronger blood pressure tablets. Of course you can't use any credit cards other than Visa within the park, and for "security reasons" can't take bottles of water in with you so have to buy it at £1.75 a half litre. Makes petrol look cheap. Thank God for capitalism and the free market  it must be true, it was in the Daily Mail.
I've just bought a couple of SAMs to put on the roof. We are nowhere near an Olympic venue but I feel left out.

Me and Mrs Delta were only saying the other day that everyone seems to be sponsoring the Olympics.I have just biked through Reading to get the Delta truck from having its 2 year Taco serviced.Well, the torch came through the town this evening and there are more Police hanging around than I have ever seen.
So I suppose I am sponsoring the games as well.
Just Glad we are of to Spa to get away from it all for a few days.

Getting absorbed again by the Le Tour, guess a lot of the French population must feel the same- every year!
With Brits 1 & 3 at moment and Bradley looking as if winning the whole darn thing is possible, maybe something to cheer about after the sporting failures of last w/end! Oh, and soon as it is all over, after quick shower and chain lube he and many of the other riders will be competing in said Olympics......

Anyone seen Ken Block's "Gymkhana 5" video? Bit of fun with him do nutting his Fiesta WRC car, although it does get a bit samey in places. The sideways airborne stuff is good though.
Point is, it was filmed on the streets of San Francisco, and the locals welcomed the film crews with open arms. Some areas were shut all day as the filming went ahead. Imagine wanting roads closed round here for some flim flam motor sport film?

Strange sport and an even stranger model car to participate in it. He wants something with some poke in the thing.
