We have already had cafe owners threatened with prosecution if they have an 
'Olympic Breakfast' on their menu, and a florist threatened for making the 
Olympic rings out of flowers for her shop window (both because of 
copyright!) In addition it is taking 3+ hours to get through Customs at the 
airport, and they are siting surface to air missiles on some apartment 
blocks. I think the majority of the British public will be pleased when this 
is all over as it is suffering from severe overkill.
