I did try to take it higher; this is what I received back:
I spoke today to a representative of London 2012 Olympics about your
displaying the Olympic Rings-0845 2672012. I explained your role and
the fact that you were merely going to display work done by school
children. He was adamant that the rings could not be included. They
can only be displayed etc. by 'commissioned bodies'. He was reading
from a list of prepared questions and answers and said this question
is frequently put to them.
I am sure this will be a blow to the two schools involved. Can they
somehow omit them or cover them up? I would be willing to speak to
whoever if you wish.

How about...
...displaying the pictures but covering the Olympic Rings where they appear - as suggested by the Locog apparatchik - with stickers reading LOCOG ARE CUNTS? Or LOGOG = 'picture-of-classic-pink-b3ta-cock'? Or simply CENSORED DUE TO LOCOG DEMAND FOR FEES? I can't get over how despicable they are, every fucking day produces yet another example of how morally bankrupt and obscene these Games are.

Tempting
but my visitors aren't the political type, and I think the message would be wasted. We try to cater for everyone but it is mainly schools, old ladies and grand old chaps with real medals. (not ones for running fast)

Fair point
well made.
But I don't half meet some characters. Some, admittitedly, like Rimmer.
