I'm so disappointed in you and most of the rest of the world. I'm glad you think the circus was worth what you traded for it, but it seems like a large step onto a slippery slope to me.

What was traded in? The infrastructure couldn't have been built without the sponsors and restrictive agreements which, after the event, didn't have much of an effect on creating a huge party spirit throughout the city.

The only trade was sponsors for any kind of event at all and I'm glad that happened, as it was a fantastic fortnight of sport.

What would you say is traded in for it?
