Read More Here: "After two weeks which abounded with unforgettable moments of surpassing joy, one event still stands out. How long has it been since any of us witnessed a reversal of British mediocrity on this inspirational scale? To hear John Major introduced on the Today programme as 'the father of the lottery' (presumably because anyone under 12 refuses to believe he could ever, really, have been allowed into Downing Street), and thus the author of our Olympic triumphs, was yet another golden moment when you appreciated how much this country has changed since benighted, medal-starved 1996.
All credit, too, to the BBC for reminding us, with this otherwise mystifying tribute to the father of the cones hotline, that the money which goes to create Britain's new sporting elite is largely generated by the gallant members of Team Lottery, most of whom are unlikely, given their doomed attachment to luck, ever to develop the kind of willpower that is acclaimed in successful athletes."
