The London-centric media bleating about the inconvenience of the Olympic/Paralympic victory parade being in Manchester, conveniently forgetting that tens-of-thousands of their fellow residents in the South East don't seem to have any problem making the trek every fortnight between August and May.

If you take out their two main sports from GB and USA then you end up with GB winning 18 golds against USA 14 golds
