Update: I’m reliably informed the forces personnel called in to replace missing G4S personnel, are now being fed correctly and having checked with a few of them, they appear to be pleased. I know I’m pleased with their friendly greetings in the morning before the shift starts. Thank you LOCOG.
Starting on the Olympic Park is an exciting time for a Gamesmaker, but having digested the PR and the training sessions the reality turns out to be not quite to plan. I’m not talking about the venues staff and contractors, they have all proved to be quality hardworking people.
What really got to me though, and hence the rant, was that the British ForcesĀ personnel on the Olympic Park are also having to fend for themselves at the three contractor’s burger vans! These young men and women are sent off to fight in Afghanistan and all they get on the Olympic Park is the prospect of a (surprisingly quite decent) sausage sandwich. Shameful LOCOG! Get off you lard arses and take some action now for these brave lads and lasses.
