Whilst watching the debate about the coming summer season, as an interested but impartial observer, I wondered how much it would cost a visitor to come to visit this lovely town during the Olympics.

Because it was so highly rated I hopped onto one guest house website and looked at the price of a room during the Olympics.

The result – £910 for seven days.

Wow. My wife and I could enjoy a two week all-inclusive break in the Canary Islands for less.

I’m not qualified to tell anyone how to run their business but if this price is replicated across the town and across the summer, I suggest that might be more of a factor than worries about congestion.
