Re: The Commonwealth Games
Rather disappointing:
‘Where are the people?’ Gold Coast 'empty' for Commonwealth Games
‘Where are the people?’ Gold Coast 'empty' for Commonwealth Games
So important games?Deserted streets, empty cafes and angry taxi drivers as local businesses battle unexpected downturn

Re: The Commonwealth Games
I find that hard to believe. There's been good crowds at the events.

Re: The Commonwealth Games
Crowds at the games does not mean crowds in pubs. London discovered that. Gold Coast is not cheap? People found London very expensive during the Olympics. You can give out a dollar once.

Re: The Commonwealth Games
So instantly, an article in the Guardian becomes fact.
Not some hack trying to get an angle to sell a few inches of text to his editor.
There may be a local effect here and there. A lot of Australians might choose to watch the games on tv, rather than go downtown.
Same thing happens when any major event is on. That's life. It might even be having an effect in the UK.
It doesn't matter. The same money gets spent in the end. You can't spend what you haven't got, and if you don't spend it today, you've still got it tomorrow.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Re: The Commonwealth Games
Well all those people in the article are telling porkies.
It is something that was not expected. It is a simple fact that people watching an event hardly stay around after especially if they are (semi) local.

Just be selective with your truths. Tell one part and exclude the other, and hey presto, you have an article.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't reflect what's actually happening. You have your column inches.
