Just as an aside, why didn't you get Waitrose or Ocado to deliver?

By the time I learnt of the closure on Thursday t'was too late to get a
Waitrose delivery slot on Friday. (I admit that as I've never used
Ocado I didn't think to check them.)

Where did you learn so soon of the closure please? I ask as various
reports in the mainstream press I saw referred to 24 hours' notice;
retailers in Westfield were also quoted in trade journals as saying they
had found out only on Thursday 2 August; and John Lewis didn't warn me
I'd not be able to collect from them that weekend when I bought online
at the start of the week for collection in the Westfield store.

There were signs up at Stratford DLR on the weekend before, and a note at
Langdon Park DLR on the Tuesday.

It also would not have killed the Games organisers to tell us about road

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.
