It also would not have killed the Games organisers to tell us about road
closures earlier than 2 weeks before the games.

I thought all the arrangements for road closures had been trailed for
months.


Hardly. I didn't know which roads were closed the one time I was
foolish enough to go into town during Marketing 2012. I only found out
when I turned the corner and ran into a line of barriers and a helpful
copper.

And the bulletins that TfL sent out every day about the transport
problems they were expecting the next day pretty much ignored bus users.
Sure, there was a list of bus routes that would be affected, but it
didn't say *how* they were affected - which ones were curtailed, which
ones were diverted, and what the diversions were.

All children should be aptitude-tested at an early age and,
