The Mayor of London Boris Johnson who personally missed out on obtaining any tickets to the London Olympics has in his professional capacity returned 1,000 tickets to London Olympic organisers.
The Mayor had been allocated 2,000 tickets, at his request for hospitality purposes but after 1.2 million people missed out on tickets and it was announced that there would be 1.3 million less tickets available the Mayor did the decent thing and streamlined his plans.
The Mayor claims that there will be no tickets for politicians or indeed for any of his staff as was originally planned. Although by default he will in essence be able to access all areas as part of his official duties. The lucky sausage!
