andsome Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 That's why I suggested Burntwood. Plenty of space for development and a few bob could be made on the side. :lol:We would want more than £50 per night for B & B. That would be the price in each of our two sheds.

Tankus Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 THE cost of the London Olympics will be more than double the price quoted in the bid document that helped Britain to win the 2012 Games, according to the official budget to be released next month.The increase to £5.1 billion will provoke controversy because the government will have to raid at least £1.7 billion extra from lottery good causes and public funds to bail out the GamesTimesOnline urph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Surely if Tony "won" the bid using false information (as he does) the bid was invalid, and should therefore be nullified/retracted/shovedupyouknowwhere by the IOC fraud squad?Or are they too busy raking over past "world class discrepancies" ?edit:- Or is all this late additional cost the standard method used to cover Payola?

andsome Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Why should lottery funds be raided? I understood that the lottery was supposed to support good causes. B'liar and his comrades should foot the bill. If he can afford FIVE homes and a mortgage bill of over £5,000,000 then he can afford to bail out the games. No wonder this lot care so little for the vulnerable in society when they can run up bills like this. Where is the money coming from to pay £200,000 per annum mortgage bill?

Tankus Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The cost of the 2012 London Olympics could rise to nearly four times the figure set out in the city's bid for the Games, the BBC has learned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The cost of the 2012 London Olympics could rise to nearly four times the figure set out in the city's bid for the Games, the BBC has learnedWhich probably means a rise in the council tax of four times as much as well Tankus. :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 heh ...which is why I'm still awake ....worrying about future council tax ...........Incidentally there was a geezer in a trench coat walking up my street today looking at every house and taking a photograph .....I think I'm about to get re-banded (preOlympic deficit fund ..? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised to see it treble again, and perhaps even more than that. These idiots that do all this costing up get paid more in a month than most people earn in a year. I wouldn't pay them in buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Sounds like it could be another Scottish Parliament Building jobby. That started out with a cost 0f between £30 and £40 million and ended up at £413 Million. Jack Maconnel, the first Minister said when asked about the price ' Look it's built, it's a has been, now why don't we forget it and move on to what has to be done in the future'. I think that was a political way of saying 'OK, we cocked up and we don't want to talk about it'. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well with £360 odd million, they probably have both and a lump sum in an offshore bank. Wonder what he did with his cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankus Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The budget for the 2012 London Olympics has risen to £9.35bn, Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has told MPs. The revised budget is nearly four times the £2.4bn estimate when London's bid succeeded less than two years ago. BBCConstruction is now budgeted at £5.3bn, there is a £2.7bn "contingency fund", plus higher tax and security costsOnce the olympics are over Im selling my house and legging it backover the boarders before the big bills come in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 It must be awful living in one of these third world countries, ruled by a dishonest leader and corrupt regime, where they just "rob" the country to indulge in their own fanciful whims.
