Only the other week there was the story of all the small traders who'd
laid out thousands on pitches in some Olympic Food Market and sold
hardly anything.

Part of the problem there was apparently the way the Olympic stewards
were told to steer everyone onto public transport to get them as far
away as soon as possible, rather than lurking around to be customers.

Shops near the Cutty Sark were complaining about the same thing.
