/// Security guards provided for the Olympics by the firm G4S may not be able to speak English, the company's chief executive has admitted. ///

Well I wonder how much more it's going to cost us to provide interpreters?

For example a Bulgarian border guard may say Добре дошли в Англия , Welcome to England.

Thursday night, so it'll be men's 200m and 800m finals, plus other events and medal ceremonies. I applied for four tickets altogether and got two, so I am lucky; and we intend to enjoy ourselves.

Oh jolly good, you'll enjoy that I bet. My friend round the corner got half of what he applied for but he's well pleased. I think it's field and track events he's going to.

the other ones I applied for were judo. I don't know anything about judo but I figured at least you can tell what's going on, unlike, say, archery or equestrian events. Anyway, I'm not sorry I didn't get those ones. Track racing is easy to follow.
