Back at work and little to report other than I’ve spotted a few Olympic volunteers, or Game Makers as they’ve been titled, heading towards Stratford. Adidas obviously designed the uniform with sunny weather in mind as everyone I’ve seen wearing it looked cold with their head buried as far down into the collar as they could go and their hands firmly shoved in their pockets.

While we're on the subject of crimes against fashion I’ve finally managed to track down a photo of the hat Philip Treacy designed for Tube staff back in 1998 for the Millenium, sadly it doesn’t show a side view and convey the pure horror of what was nearly inflicted upon us but the front was a lot taller than the back.

  1. To be fair, they were reinforced so that by placing a pair of them against the edge of the carriage, they would have formed a wheelchair ramp.

  2. Bet LUL have got something similar planned for after the Olympics. They've already stated uniforms are to be "reviewed" after 2012.
