No.
My sums are just dividing the budget by the population.

You may however fuck right off with you national pride and UK as a fucking brand.

As for the rest I thought I'd heard that most cities lost out as a whole from staging the Olympics in the past, but I can stand to be proved wrong.

sydney made a large profit.
Athens didn't do too badly, lost a little but has the slight disadvatage of being Greece, and thus being infinitely more of a corrupt fuck up then we are. Beijing is difficult to call because the info is unlikely to be true.

Most of the olympics before Sydney made a loss but aren't really fair comparison as the commercial aspect is at a different level these days.

This might not be a bad idea.
I was thinking of goin walking/cycling in either the Lakes or Scotland in the summer anyway, this might be the perfect time to do that. I must check the dates.

Nononono, UK as a brand is very important.
Instertutionaly and quentisentichily british brands will see a dramatic increase in sale of overseas products, such as Marmite.

Please do so.

It's a small thing to factor in, but it's still a real thing.
