Answer: Don't bother going.

It'll be gridlocked everywhere in London and the views are much better on the TV anyway.

    It's right up there with "stay in bed for 3 weeks". Invaluable.

    Hope is not a strategy :D...A child is for life, not just 18 years....Don't get me started on the NHS, because you won't win...I love chaz-ing!

    Heh heh heh, u all know I'm right

    It's gonna be as boring as the football nerds who spend 4 hours every Saturday watching Des Lyneham calling out the results on Grandstand

    May as well be reading numbers from the phone book, it's about the same level of interestingness

    How to save money on your summer holiday - stop at home
    How to save money on your car - walk
    How to save money on food - starve

    Cheapest option : Sit in darkened room with a tin foil hat on!

    Save on lighting, TV electricity blah blah
