Olympic Garden
Oi! Why did people bury so much crockery in their back gardens?
Meself and Boris were digging up my back garden today. We’re laying the foundations for a Wiff Waff arena in time for the London Olympics. We dug up so much crockery! There was enough there to make two China tea sets!
Boris took all the pieces home with him, he said he’d have a go at gluing them, which should keep him outta trouble for the next four years!
Why on earth did people bury the stuff ???
We often have Crockery Burying Parties in my street. We just like to mess with future archaeologists’ minds!

2012 London Olympics – The beauty of it
The 2012 Olympics will transform nearly 2 square miles of industrial London wasteland into a green backdrop for the games, providing a legacy for people and wildlife for decades to come. Never before in the history of the Olympic Games has so much thought gone into creating an event dedicated to sport, ecology, environment and conservation for the future.
In harmony with the stadiums will be gardens, markets, cafes and bars. Quiet public spaces and habitats are being created for hundreds of existing rare species from kingfishers to otters.
2000 British trees have been selected and hand picked to form the green spaces in the Olympic Park, and a further 2000 trees are being planted in the Olympic Village. Athletes from around the world will experience ambience second to none before, enhancing peace and harmony. Visitors and spectators will be equally enthralled.
The London Olympics promises to be the best since the modern games began and it is an opportunity not to be missed.
Great Britain was the first to host the games in 1948 after the Second World War. It was a ramshackle affair, but they rose to the challenge when no other nation could take it on. It demonstrated spirit, unity, courage and friendship. A world divided by war, became united by sport.
The Olympic dream! Five circles, interconnected, representing five continents, embracing peace and friendship.
It’s the reason why the torch continues to burn. The flame of hope!
64 years later the time has come again – and this time it will be outstanding. It will not happen again in a lifetime – London is the place to be in 2012.
An independent report by Oxford Economics estimates the number of visitors to Britain for the games alone will be almost 1million, of which nearly half will be from overseas.
Already hotels are fully booked, space is at a premium, but for thousands of people who still wish to visit the games, they can do so. Enterprising people with houses or rooms to spare in and around the capital are offering their facilities. The savvy traveller will take advantage of the less expensive accommodation on offer, avoiding the hotels, guesthouses and B&B’s and go native.
Ten, fifteen, even twenty miles from the venue will not be a problem. London has the finest transport network in the world, and everywhere is no more than a 30 minute tube or bus ride.
Olympic Accommodation is the key stop on route. This is where to find your place to stay.
Remember that not all events will be taking place at the Olympic Park – other London venues to name a few include Earls Court, Hyde Park, Lords Cricket Ground, Wembley and Wimbledon – all famous names to conjure excitement.
Further afield venues will take place at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and at Old Trafford, home of Manchester United, Hampden Park in Glasgow – the home of Scottish football, and St James’ Park, home of Newcastle United.
From Wales, Scotland and England the games will play.
The sailing competitions will be held in beautiful Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour – renown as England’s Jurassic coast, and the famous Chesil Beach and where white sand meets a cobalt sea.
Olympic Accommodation is not just about London, but everywhere else in Great Britain.
It’s not too late to plan – accommodation is available – Olympic Accommodation is here to help you wherever you wish to stay and whatever your sport.
We hope you have a great Olympics – we hope you have a once in a lifetime experience.
