scielle, while I don't want to moan, I kind of agree with you. Knowing I'd be sitting around for an hour I really cut it close last Sunday and was still fine, but there seems to be a slightly laid-back attitude to it all that doesn't really gel with the realities of LOTS of volunteers - not many live THAT close to the sites, even if they are from London (I'm not), I have a proper job that I can't just leave at a moment's notice etc. etc. It's almost as if the people making these decisions have forgotten their lives outside of the Olympics.
But we've overcome other obstacles, we will overcome this one. I just wish they didn't make it so hard sometimes...
