This is a bit of an iffy ending really - just texting a friend who was a Gamesmaker and was part of the group on the Mall. Apparently they were told this morning that they'd be seeing all the entertainment, but now they've put barriers up and told them all to go home. They've looked pretty for the media and now they're not needed... Bit of a sour note to end on for them (she's not a Londoner, she's travelled up from Devon to do this)

oh, MrsD- that's a bit rubbish

Nancy66 · 10/09/2012 16:37

was Bradley Wiggins there - never saw him

MrsVamos · 10/09/2012 16:37

I think we should have a 'summer of sport' every year.

Fuck the football, I want proper sports and proper sports people.

Let's start a riot !

We should start a campaign or something to ensure the legacy is fulfilled.

Clare on C4 now

MrsVamos · 10/09/2012 16:38

paRaahhlympiansgoingforgold · 10/09/2012 16:38

Is bradley doing the 'Tour of britain'?

Seb and Claire! not giving up

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 10/09/2012 16:39

It is really She reckons around 50% of the Gamesmakers missed out.

caramelwaffle · 10/09/2012 16:39

Glad to have shared the Olympics and Paralympics with you all (and in more ways than just here)

Aww, lovely Clare.

beingagoodmumishard · 10/09/2012 16:40

Iwantacampervan · 10/09/2012 16:40

Seb and Clare together - ahhhh

MrsD - that's awful, i'm not impressed !

Iwantacampervan · 10/09/2012 16:41

Andy Murray has other things to do today too !

MrsVamos · 10/09/2012 16:41

Do you remember our Opening Ceremony threads ? Bloody brilliant !

I love you all, but you all know that. It does make everything much more special when you share it.

We should have a sports enthusiasts meet-up. Ha !
