Subject: BS: England quiet, the olympics or the rain?
Went into Weymouth last night, and the whole place was virually empty. Normally on a warm summer's night, the streets and restaurants would be full. The businesses must be going broke.

I thought maybe it was the rumours of savage parking restrictions - all the parking places - normally full, were empty and restricted to resident permit holders. We wanted to go to a Show of hands Concert but we couldn't get near enough for me, with my dickie heart and Denise with her arthritis, to get within reachable distance of the venue.

The whole front , the harbourside, the town centre were empty.

Theres just been a report on telly that Central London is the same - completely empty. Pictures of an empty Oxford Street! What the hell is happening. Is it just places involved in the Olympics?

Is this nationwide, are Blackpool and Skegness empty too?

have the weeks of rain dampened all our spirits?

Someone's buggered up - we should be doing record breaking business.
