The, cough, 'bally' Olympics - no escape even here

I have succeeded in ignoring the WLOSAF thus far without too much effort, but the wretched 2012 event is now about to impinge on sweet home Croydonia:

"Croydon will be celebrating the moment of the olympic handover with a flag raising ceremony on the 24 August with (sic) at Taberner House....Croydon will be celebrating the Paralympic handover on the 17 September will (sic) a themed sports day as well as events taking place in the borough's schools. More details to follow".

Judging from the page at London Councils, few if any boroughs will be safe from this particular plague.

How many Croydonians voted yes to this outrageous imposition on their lives and their traffic so the little councillors and social worker fleas could enjoy a moment of faux glory in their local papers under: Other News?
