there are many things in the UK that would never have happened if we hadn't paid for it or picke dup the tab as a country.
- Concorde would have flopped and rusted.
- the NHS would have been buried years ago (and this is a continual money pit on the economy)
- a banking system (like it or not if we hadn't bailed it out we'd probably be even deeper in the crap)
love it or hate it the olympics are now here. although complaining is fun it can;t turn the clock back, so you might as well sit back and enjoy the sport. you paid for it after all
