Olympic wee warmer.

Some nonsense on the news about the new Aquatic Centre at the Olympic Park that has started to spawn.....
Some stupid wavey roof on it apparently, designed by some asian woman...

They then say, costs have soared from an initial £73Million to over £300Million estimate now....

...WTF......and then, said Asian woman pipes up and says (in rather poor English!) "Of course there are many many costs that have come up not associated with the building, such as the interior....."

What sort of licence to print money is this flipping occasion......So she desihms a building and forgets it needs an interior.......or the interior has increased costs by £270Million, 4xplus the original cost...

I'd love to be able to quote ridiculously undeliverable costs in my job, then just charge what i like and blame it on forgetting something that a 3 year old would remember to quote for..
I wonder if the people who lost out on this building design contract but who got their number right (and maybe lost it on cost) could sue the idiots that let this crap happen....?

Is it relevant that she is asian with poor english?

Edit for spelling error.

Yes. Because I was unable to remember her name as it was a bit unusual, (so therefore had to say it was "some Asian woman" and her English was poor so it was difficult to follow exactly what she said when she was trying to justify her ridiculous, cynical overspend.

Perhaps if she were intelligent to learn the language of this great nation that she is ripping off, she'd be able to add her numbers up too.

Oh and of course, if she were white people would be more likely to challenge her more strongly, as it was the BB(P)C seemed to just record it and play it and let her off the hook, so as not to be accused of being a racialistist.
