Thought I had found a priceless tip when someone posted on an online forum that one could view the Olympic Park from the top floor of John Lewis department store ...for free.
We weren't the only ones who had gone through the forum ...
...because the queue went round 3 floors
But it most certainly was not free.
£2 per person please with a leaflet each in return for your cold hard cash
We made our way in
found "The view" under some intense scrutiny
didn't hear anyone complain
Think it's because a lot were trying to get a good shot of the park
While the majority were really trying to get their 2 pounds worth
In reality, one had to shoot through segmented views encumbered by window panes
Which wasn't easy because of the stupid ugly storage yard up front
Stepped back for a while to give others a chance
Checked this sign out
Then went back, gave it one last try and surrendered after this one
Turned my attention to these two kids at the back
and this row of toys beside them
before the most cheerful person in the room beamed at me
because he was hoping I'd buy some happy juice or snacks from him
Well, well....
