What with the ridiculous amount of traffic and congestion that will be happening in and around london, im really looking forward to the olympics 
Ive already been on site a few times, and its not pretty. The security checks are a real pain, as the ghurkas make you open your cupboards, side lockers and fridge and then stand outside like a naughty school boy while they climb around with their dirty boots on rummaging around through your personal belongingsā¦ As we will be doing movements on and around the park at stratford during the time of the games, its going to be manic, so imagine my thoughts when i am told that the security have stepped it up a level to airport standards, whereby we will not be allowed to carry water, aerosol cans or even toothpaste!! So, seeing as we will be spending 99% of our time in our trucks what do they expect us to do? Not use deodorant or brush our teeth for 6 weeks? I know that unfortunately with the way the world is now we need to be extra careful due to certain groups of ill minded people. But cāmon, is that not a bit of a joke? Im not a fan of having the olympics here anyway, purely down to the billions of Ā£Ā£Ā£ of mine and your tax that are being wasted on it. But for me, this is salt in the wounds. I feel like i am being let down by my own country (again). What are your views on this??
Hopefully Iāll not have to go to the ā ā ā ā ā ā ā again but Iām looking forward to being told I canāt take food or drink in.
Iāll just ask them to open the āoutā gate and ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā to their delivery.
Luckily my job means i wonāt be anywhere near the hole, wonāt be inconvenienced by the Zil lanes, and wonāt be having to put up with the rubbish you describe.
I feel for you lads that do have to go there.
Iāve not been āinā there yet. Iād like to,just once,to experience the hassle [yup,iām wierd].
Iām also sceptical about the huge cost of these games and I donāt go with the stale one-liners
about being good for Britain etc.
Traffic wise, iām already noticing a changeā¦seems that traffic lights timing has been altered
on the eastern approaches along the A2 and Shooters Hill. I wonder if all light timing will be changed
to discourage traffic? [that would be daft].
Itās clear that the authorities are going all-out to make an impact on ordinary folk like us. Even if you go
nowhere near Stratford [or the other sites] your delivery jobs in London are going to take
a lot longer then normal. In an ordinary day multi-dropping,iāll be given about 14 drops and theyāll
all get doneā¦July/August? ā¦hmm, iāll let you know later!
