Glad you locals all

Talk about a rip-off. It turns out that the celebration of Britain’s National Health Service, clearly the absolute highlight of the Olympics opening ceremony, was trimmed from 11 minutes to just nine for Saturday morning’s megashow.
For fans of state-funded healthcare-themed performance art – and I think I speak for millions of Australians here – this is shattering news. Perhaps we will never get a chance to see those missing two minutes.
Unless, of course, the NHS Dancers take their complete and uncut show on the road. It could be an all-dancing, all-singing, all-nursing spectacular, with massive queues for tickets providing a entertaining reminder of how long you’ll usually wait to be treated by the NHS itself.
