Numbers like 27 million just go right over my head as it's something I am never going to hold in my hands, nor would I want to. I had no idea the opening ceremony was going to be about the countryside - you have to admit that will be totally different to all the glitz and bangs of previous opening ceremonies, with which we could never compete. I won't commit myself to an opinion until I have seen the opening ceremony, but I am now quite looking forward to it 8)

I've dicovered over my life that I've never had an original thought - someone always gets there first ;D ::) :dunce:

as an idea I quite like it, it'll certainly be a unique opening ceremony. How good it will actually be I don't know, it's certainly ambitious.

I'm quite pleased that 'we' Brits see ourselves as so pastoral still :thumbsup:

Except that I fear that a lot of viewers won't make the connection between the livestock they see on screen and the pies on their plate... ::)

Ahhh - but are you gaining on them? ;) :D

Not any more :( ;D and the folk I'm trying to catch are no longer so bright :eyelashes: :D :D Soon I'll be struggling to out-think the dog :dog: :&>

I have to say, I'm not impressed with it. The whole setup looks like it's from the 50s. Surely Great Britain is more than that. As for the humour that Danny Boyle has talked about, no one else in the world get our humour anyway!

Will they need /remember to get a CPH and movement licences? ;)

if there is livestock there even artificial ones they will need everything in place ;) :farmer:

I think it represents the image the rest of the world has of us so quite appropriate really. Quaint England. Of course us residents know differently, but best keep it a secret or we'll scare the visitors away! Met quite a few people on holidays who have been to England once and vowed never again -not at all what they were expecting. Probably needs Shakespear's house in the middle and a few castles and black and white houses round the outside to complete the picture.

Only a temporary one will be required as it's not likely any animals will be born there.
For a show or demonstration all animals tag numbers have to be reported on the paperwork you send in prior to the demonstration.
At least that was the case with me, but you know what they're like for changing the rules.
