we only have 52 competitors and yet the BBC decided to waste taxpayers money in sending 75 people to cover the Games. Only the UK could do that

75 people sounds a fairly reasonable to me. Besides, what makes you think that the Brits are only interested in seeing British competitors?

The Queen of Britain is the Queen of Canada. It's only right that the BBC send a fleet of reporters over to cover the goings on in the colonies.

it's nowt to do with the queen or competitors it is because the UK people pay for tv licences and the BBC has to spend all the money to justify it

I used to like watching the Winter Olympics even though we never has anybody really competing. Must be something to do with growing up watching Ski Sunday because there was nothing else one.. (theme tune now in head)

Queen I've learned to tolerate. What I won't be able to stomach is King Charles of Australia.....
