Is your Olympic glass half full or half empty?

8
Man looking at reflection - mixed emotion

With the Olympic Games almost upon us, it’s time to embrace the positive change the Games will bring. Does the promise of a buzzing London outweigh any niggles you might have about the Olympics?

(more on feelings towards the Olympics…)

Olympic stadium food prices – steep or sensible?

29

This week LOCOG released Olympic stadium food and drink prices – bottled beers cost £4.20 and curries are £8.50. I’m refereeing a debate between Nikki Whiteman and Patrick Steen – how much is too much?

The Olympic Games – brought to you by fat, sugar and salt

11

The Olympics are nearly upon us, but while we’re in for a sporting treat, will the food we eat while we’re watching live up to the healthy standards of an athletic event? Judging by the sponsors, probably not…

(more on the Olympic sponsors…)

Olympic Games sponsors – gold medal or wooden spoon?

6

Past Olympic Games have attracted billions of viewers and are an advertising manager’s dream. But are the sponsorship ‘partners’ any good? I decided to take a wholly unscientific look to find out.

Should Sunday trading laws be abolished altogether?

36

Last week the government announced its plan to relax Sunday trading laws during the Olympics, giving shops the option to open for longer and take advantage of a spending boost during the Games.

Are you holidaying as usual this year?

10
Travel guidebooks and sunglasses

A gloomy economy, government calls to holiday at home and events like the Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee… will all this have an effect on how you choose to holiday this year, or will you be doing what you always do?

(more about 2012 holiday plans…)

Running up London’s hotel prices – the big Olympic ‘rip-off’

10

If you plan to stay in one of London’s hotels during the 2012 Olympic Games, you could end up paying hundreds of pounds more per night. How much would you pay to stay in a hotel during the Olympics?

(more about Olympic hotel prices…)

Is the Olympics discriminating against non-internet users?

10

Got Olympic tickets that you no longer need? If so, you can now resell them. Unless, that is, you don’t use the internet. Even though you can buy tickets offline, you’re excluded from the reselling process.

(more about offline Olympic tickets…)

Who’s confused by the Olympic ticket reselling process? Me!

168

Got unwanted Olympic tickets? Want to have another go at buying some? Well the official Olympic ticket resale programme launched today. The question is; do you know how the process works? Our survey says ‘no’.

Are 15% higher cab fares during the Olympics fair?

9

London cabbies have demanded that they should be allowed to increase their fares by around 15% during the Olympics. Blimey. As if it wasn’t going to be expensive enough already to attend the Games.

(more about London’s black cabs…)

How will millions of people get to the Olympics on time?

4
Overcrowded London Underground Tube

If you’re one of the lucky ones who got Olympic tickets, the next hurdle is getting there. Intrigued by the massive task of transporting millions of people by public transport in time, I took a look at Olympic travel options.

Sunday shopping – lose it or improve it?

30

London retailers want strict Sunday opening hours to be relaxed during the Olympics. Should more retailers open for longer on a Sunday, or should it return to being a sacred no-shopping day?

(more about Sunday shopping…)

How far would you go to get Olympic tickets?

2
London map, money and Olympic medal

Our research reveals the extent that punters will go to in order to get their hands on Olympic tickets, from buying from overseas vendors to paying over the odds. Are these crazy methods or just a means to an end?

Supersized McDonald’s to feed your Olympic hunger – bothered?

17
McDonald's logo

McDonald’s is to open its largest ever fast food outlet (I refuse to call it a restaurant) outside the 2012 London Olympics site. Is a 3,000sq m McD’s next to the world’s biggest sporting event mad or just meeting demand?

(more about McDonald’s at the Olympics…)
