Some 250 of these luxury BMWs have been ordered for the transport of Olympic offials and athletes. Assuming an average price tag of £30,000 (they cost up to £40,000) that comes to something like seven and a half MILLION pounds. Add that to the cost of special Olympic traffic lanes to ensure a smooth flow for these over indulged divas, we are probably looking at in excess of £10,000,000. There will be no further use for these beamers and the traffic lanes will have to be scraped off later so not one penny of the cost can be sidled over to what I believe is known as the legacy side of the balance sheet.
Oh and incidentally, the drivers employed for these jobs have to be checked by a special team of driving instructors specially employed for the purpose.
Apart from the fact that all this profligacy is occurring at a time when the people of this country are concerned about how they will survive in their old age, I have one of other concern. Why must they use foreign cars? Or at least, why not cars built in this country? It would really only have been common sense.
