WOW! just.... WOW!

What exactly are they paying for? Babies can't understand what is happening during the sporting event. Nor does the parent get an extra seat for the baby, and or extra bags they will be carrying. Shame, shame on the organizers.

"In other words, parents who appeared with children less than a year old babes in arms, so to speak were not turned away."

I hope they have a bloody good search for any bombs in the diapers.

edit: Why am I calling them diapers. They're bloody nappies.

Right mooloo, here is hoping they use a similar method of screening as they did in Vancouver.

The UK needs the money, they're skint and will do whatever is necessary to obtain more. If that involves MEXTing over people willing to see the games in a country that simply isn't prepared for them...then they will.

There's a sporting even happening in London this year?

Can't say I've noticed or even cared about it.
