The Art of Timing
The Mystic Marks are still present on the Dunley Road, no doubt conjurations will begin once the kids are back at school and the traffic levels increase.
Line Painting is being carried out along lane 3 of Vale Road presumably where they filled in that hole, but as a result the free car-park is blocked off... uh during the period when everyone wants to use it?
The papers are going ecstatic over the medals for the Olympics the headline catching my eye being "Britannia rules the games". Yep we're currently third with 26 medals, less then half the amount won by the USA (65) or China (61); oh yes we're winning. The big joy is that we're simply not used to doing this well, so what has this got to do with the topic of timing?
Well think of the age of the British team they've grown up with a Labour government in control funding and encouraging amateur sports, whereas our previous teams were training under a Conservative government that sold off the sports grounds to developers and couldn't see the point of amateur sports as there was no profit in it. If I were the Labour PR department I'd be proclaiming this link from the high hills.

Good point about the sports grounds, but was it not the Tories who started the Lottery where most of the funding seems to come from?
You are correct the Lottery was set up in 1993 under John Major "to fund a renaissance in sport, the arts and our heritage" which leads me to ask why we needed a renaissance in sport etc. Could it be that someone previously had pulled the plug on public services and handed them over to the private sector?
But no your point is well made, Labour are reaping the benefits of a scheme set up by the previous Conservative government.
