W. JONES (23 March 2013) is of course right. Money can always be found when it is needed.

I would however like to add another gripe of my own, and that is the money which is being spent on the Olympic Games. If we are as hard up as we are supposed to be, wouldn't it be a better idea not to have the games in the first place?

On one hand we are living in a world of dimmed lights, closed public toilets and cuts in all directions, whilst on the other hand there is this enormous waste of public money.

How is it possible to be living on two planets at the same time?
