I just wanted to update you all on the plans for the opening ceremony for the London 2012 olympics. We have already decided that we cannot afford a lavish ceremony like Beijing unless you lovely American people can re-introduce "lease - lend", but our plans are pretty spectacular on the £500 budget we have to spend.
There will be a fleet of red London buses (borrowed from American city sightseeing companies)driven into the stadium (well actually the olympic stadium will be a big tent) The buses will be set on fire by a thousand Vicky Pollard look-a-likes to reveal red telephone boxes which will be taken apart by knife wealding "dancers" out of the red telephone boxes a thousand Miss Marples will parade on walking frames. The walking frames will then transform into Beefeaters from the Tower of London who are infact a choir choosen by phone vote on a BBC show who will sing a selection of Andrew Lloyd Webber song.
And we've only just started. We still have 500 Noel Coward look-a-likes singing "Ther'll always be an England" to fit in yet.
Thats a view of London that will surprise you isn't it.
If Edina and Patsy aren't there, I'm not watching.
