The Day The Olympics passed down my road

30/06/2012 by Kevincm

And there was a change over point.. here!

GhettoIFE will NOT be doing blow-by-blow Olympic coverage (you’ll be glad to hear!), however I will be keeping an eye on travel related stories (such as wait times, immigration times, congestion at terminals etc) and if I hear of any travel news stories, I’ll try and get them here.

And it’s anything for a Home Advantage…
