Anyone else affected?

[BabyBrain]

We are on the Olympic cycle route, it goes straight through our town so it looks like we will be housebound for the 3 days . I bet the weather is lovely too. The only good thing is I'm hoping the OH won't have to go to work cos a lot of the roads that will be shut are the ones they use for the lorries.

The road works beforehand are going to be shocking too . Anyone else going to be affected by the Olympics? xxxxxxxx

Sounds like it may b a bit of a nightmare for u
Don't think we will b directly affected in anyway but I am going to c a friend in london in august so expect travel will b difficult! X

Torch went right by us and the disruption wasn't too bad at all. It was well organised and just avoided the affected roads for a couple of hours. I travelled to another town too to watch the torch as a friend was carrying it and again it was well organised and the roads were cleared very quickly.


Using Tapatalk can't see no tickers grrrrr.

Yeah sort of. OH works in Brentford so gonna be affected by the M4 repairs. Apparently it's horrendous (he's off sick) his work make took 1 1/2 hours to so a 25 min journey home!!!

We used to live closer to Heathrow than we do now so maybe slightly less affected than we would've

I'd rather watch the men's swimming lol. Bring on the speedo's

They were talking about blocking the pavements and charging the locals to watch

We've got Olympics signs everywhere, and they've built the SnoozeBox on the local forest, they make it look small but it's the size of about 4 football pitches on green belt land I'm not happy about it. There's been military police in Romford lately too.

I am looking forward to the Olympics, nice to not be working
