Nope. I have been hearing nothing but the Olympics for the last 18 months to two years. I used to work at Lloyds Banking Group (they are one of the sponsors), they were literally shoving information down our throats try to rally support for the games.
At one stage they were giving free tickets, as prizes, on how good your performance was. If you left well before the Olympics, you had to give these tickets back.
I would be watching the Olympics on and off, as I did with the Euros, as I am trying to find a job for the last 12 months or so. I would be supporting the home nations - NI, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and of course, England.

I don't have any either, even though some of the football is actually going on about 15 minutes away from me. Thats a bit unfair about the tickets though  I have a cousin who works at the Ricoh arena, and they all get free tickets, but they had to work every other week to keep their tickets- a bit difficult for my cousin, who goes to Uni in Ipswich and has to drive 2 hours just to get to the stadium. |

Nup, no tickets but I could have had a job there but I had to turn it down due to health reasons and yes I will be supporting England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

Not got tickets, and don't particularly want any. I'd rather just watch it on TV.

TV for me and I'm in full support of the USA. I'm mostly for the gymnastics, everything else isn't too interesting for me.

If GB doesn't do any good, I might go and support a different team.

GB should do all right, we've got Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and a few others that are quite good in their disciplines. I'm not sure about how the rest of the team will do, especially the 100m and 200m sprinters against people like Usain Bolt, but I support them 100%.
