The Beginning of Back to Normal

Periodically throughout the Olympics, we checked in with Dennis Spurr, the owner of the Fantastic Sausage Factory in Weymouth, a pretty town on the English coast where the sailing events took place. Spurr’s sausage business was a target of the Olympic branding authorities in 2007 after he put up a sign featuring the Olympic five-ring logo done in sausage links. He took it down on their demands, but replaced it with a sign featuring five squares made of sausage links.

Q. So this is it, last day. How you feeling?

A. I’m Olympic’d out. We’ve been so busy and we’re worn out now. We’ve just gone by the bus stop where the park and ride drops everybody out, and all the buses are all parked up. There are about 60 over there, all these pretty-colored buses, and this is their last day today. It’s quite the sight to see all these buses there, and tomorrow morning, they’ll all be gone. We were just saying, just seeing all those buses there, we should have taken some pictures of them.
