Re: Britain Goes for Guilt
Do you know how much they would cost if they were solid gold? Times that by the number of golds given out..

Can't imagine they've ever been solid gold.

 Thats what I was Googling when I found that little nugget of information.... How much is an olympic gold medal worth in scrap gold.... Thought i mighht cash my one in.... If i had one... Which i havent...  And yes boss.... I thought they were solid gold.... Have been watching the ceremonies thinking... Bloody hell that must be a bitnof a weight round yer neck... Hope they've carried out the appropriate risk assessment by some one with the right ticket before doing that... Or they could be leaving themselves open to all kinds of legal issues

Gold must have been cheap in those days and the medals much smaller and thinner.
