MORE news on empty seats at the London 2012 Olympics.

“We are aware that some venues have empty seats… We believe the empty seats are in accredited seating areas, and we are in the process of finding out who should have been in the seats and why they weren’t there” – Locog spokesman.

Expect letters along the lines of “the dog ate them”, “I sprained my ankle” and “I work for McDonalds / Coca Cola and healthy activities go against everything I stand for. Also my mate who works for Panasonic /Samsung told me its all looks better on a 47-inch TV with surround sound and internet access”. Oh, and I’m a Lloyds/TSB banker and sold the tickets to pay for my new boat…”
