I do think Londoners should have got first shot at the tickets - sure its a Global event, and the powers that be have done their best to market it as being a UK event too, but the reality is that its us lot who have had to put up with all the disruption to get the Olympics up and running, dig a bit deeper into our pockets, and we've had so much propaganda shoved down our throats about how great the games will be for London and all the benefits the games legacy will have for us that it seems ridiculous that we dont get first chance to enjoy the main benefit of having the games in London, which is seeing the worlds best going for the greatest prize on earth, right here on our doorsteps.
