    Talking to yourselves again Numbskulls....

    Funny how the UK has been present at every Olympics even during a recession...even during the 1930's depression...

    How much money do you think we spend on sending teams to the Olympics nuggets? ..... Billions? Trillions?

    The answer is 30 million...

    How will we ever be able to afford that money!!

    I mean we only have an economy with a turnover of 1.5 Trillion Pounds per year!

    So how can we not have any money....

    You lot take your fantasies to a new level lol :)
