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.

Perhaps you could go on holiday oop north whilst it is on?
I'm sure BGB would be very accomodating.

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.
