Population of UK about 62 million. Approximately 50p each (easier than 47p) equates to about £31 million.....
Cost of games approx. £9 billion.....
So how does that work then?
As stated, that's for the opening ceremony.
The sports 'day' itself is costing every man woman and child 40p per day for a year.
Since I'm not interested in sports can I have a free can of coke every day for the next 365 days?
