We all know this country is fucked, and further proof of the UK's ability not just to shoot itself in the foot but to amputate it as well has come following revelations about contracts for the Olympics. Last week, we read about the sorry state of affairs that exists regarding official merchandise available to order online. 91% of the items available are NOT manufactured in the UK. How fucking stupid are we!
Weldon, Williams & Lick has now been awarded the contract to print the tickets. I have nothing against this company, and rather like its name. However, it is in the United States of America. As a result, the company will be flying (from Arkansas) a 16-ton order of 11million tickets 4,500 miles to a warehouse in London - from where they will be posted out to UK addresses at £6 per time. How fucking stupid are we!
