Londoners marking 100 days to end of Olympics

Events were taking place across London today, marking one hundred days to the end of the Olympic Games with a new motto unveiled to the public.

Community leaders from across the capital came together to launch the official motto of the end of the Olympics: 'Thank fuck that's over'. A press release issued alongside the motto said "this accurately sums up the feelings of many Londoners. People from every borough have contributed to this project and we really feel there's even more a sense of community after this exercise than before".

Community ambassadors have been appointed and were made available to the press at the launch event. One told us that what she was most looking forward to was "them taking that ruddy great missile battery off the roof of our flats" while another expressed hope at seeing the snipers off the roof opposite leaving and going back to base in Surrey.

For the actual day when the Olympics end, a large display of extended middle fingers will be shown towards the armed helicopters that will have been buzzing overhead for the previous three weeks before a collective sigh before a cup of tea and the first decent night's kip London will have had for some time.

Today also marks 35 years until the cost of the games is paid off.
