According to Boris Johnson the British troops assigned on short notice to guard the Olympics are “enjoying a very unusual and memorable operation,”
However some have complained of the less than ideal facilities provided, whilst others have said they have not been able to get tickets to watch any Olympic events.
Some soldiers have seen their leave cancelled as they were deployed at short notice to cover the Olympics once security firm G4S announced it would not be able to provide the amount of staff it had promised
On Friday, London Mayor Boris Johnson visited Tobacco Dock, a warehouse complex where 2,000 soldiers, sailors and air force personnel are sleeping on camp beds and using portable toilets.
The mayor said he had come to “thank them and congratulate them and listen to what they have got to say.”
“I think there will always be some people who are positive and some people who are less positive, but the reaction I’m getting is that they are enjoying a very unusual and memorable operation, something they will keep with them for the rest of their lives,” Johnson said.
And once again we can see the importance of portable toilet hire, without it the soldiers would be abit stuck for options, I don’t think they would like to travel somewhere else just to go to the toilet.
The accommodation they are in may not be the best but at least with portable toilets available can still go to the bathroom!
