As the last Olympic Games before London 2012 continues in Vancouver this week, Trafalgar Square has marked this fact by installing an ice sculpture of the five Olympic rings.
Visitors to central London will also be able to try their hand at winter sports such as bobsleigh, snowboarding and skiing. Really? I didn’t realise the weather in London had been that extreme….
[They haven’t built the Cresta Run down Charing Cross Road – the winter games are on video consoles stationed around the Square – Boriswatch Ed].Bozza, presumably, likes a bit of Wii action (not a euphemism). “Whilst we can not bring the snowy slopes of Whistler to London, we are offering a fantastic day of interactive fun and competition to the heart of the host city for the next summer games.”
“a fantastic day of interactive fun” That is such a Boris phrase. The economy is crashing, Gordon is sobbing and the universe is shrinking, but the Mayor is all about the fun. Hale Boris.
That’s what I like about the Mayor. If the moods of Zeus decided the weather, and the same applies to our PM, no wonder we have had such an b…… awful winter.
Apparently the Canadian Olympics has been a bit of a disaster. Hope we can do better than that.
You probably have more snow than Whistler. You can see the ski run at Grouse Mountain from my apartment, and it’s grass halfway up the slope. They had to literally truck in snow from surrounding mountains.
