"Olympic Events - Plan your Journey - Arrive on Time"

[Corsair7]

Oh just fk off will you, theres 86 fking days to go you fking morons.

And I'm not even going.

fk the olympics, and fk those motorway signs that say this.

mini rant over.

[ewenm]

Hmmm, better plan now then

Go into living room
Turn on TV
Choose event to watch
Watch event while consuming reasonably priced coffee/beer and food.

Yep, I reckon I've got it covered. Thanks for the heads-up though

[Mark-C]

It's on signs out where the A14 and A11 meet at Newmarket ... I swear they have never had a single useful piece of info on those signs.

[trashbat]

I don't know why they bother with this. Most of them are just oval tracks.

[alangla]

Seen this on matrix signs as far north as Carlisle.

Also seen TfL posters warning of road closures related to the Olympics... In Glasgow. We've got a couple of days of football at Hampden, but I doubt it'll cause any more disruption than a typical Scottish Cup game & a lot less than some of the big music events cause.

[hornetrider]

Aye, fecking useless. As was the "Accident J23-25 M1" or something signs westbound on the M4 the other week

[dapearson]

I thought it was just me that was sick of the olympics already??!?!

It's not the olympics itself - the events, the dedication of the athletes, etc. Respect for that. It's that every company seems to have to be associated in as many ways as possible with the olympic brand.

"The official partner" nonsense. WHY!!??

I'm fed up of being told i can have 20.12% off a holiday to yorkshire, or potentially winning a prize ever 2012 seconds.

Not to mention the fact that as a tax payer, i'm sure i must be making a healthy contribution to this great big party that everyone in London (or on the BBC) seems to be having an orgasm just thinking about.

Just fk off and leave me alone for the next 20.12 months, by which time it will all be long forgotten, apart from another few billion that my son will be paying for when he starts work.

[sim16v]

Don't for get to "take your litter home" as well!

[Vilhelm]

Don't say things like that. It's unpatriotic to not want taxpayers' money to go down the drain.

[TonyHetherington]

The signs are going up now because, with 86 days left, it could take you that long to get to the cycling track or aqua park, so you'd better leave now.

[wormburner]

Internal, organisational arse-covering. All so someone can say "Well, boss, we did our bit. Matrix signs have been up for two months, so how ANYONE could ever be late for anything ever again is a total mystery to me..."

Clearly we all feel the signs would be better used to have the following message displayed.


"MOVE OVER TO THE LEFT dhead"

They used to say that round here. Well maybe not exactly that.

You get that one in Scotland*

* Actually it's "Keep left unless overtaking" or "Please allow overtaking"

[zasker]

Yes and the opening ceremony alone is cost us £27 million FFS!

That was displayed on two consecuative signs on the M25 recently. The idiots were still driving under them in the middle lane

[robinessex]

Speed camera technology should be used to detect any car with a +2 second gap to the vehicle in front, or an empty nearside lane, and get a message flashed up to move over. By the next gantry, if they've failed to move, they should be have a RPG fired at them.

I saw one the other day that said "NO FUEL AT SCVS J15 M25" (or similar).

Since when did "SCVS" become an acceptable abbreviation for "Services"?

May have been, can't remember.

Why?
