Rip off Britain

Well, I did think that this blog was going to be mainly photography related but I have been so flabbergasted this weekend that I thought it right to vent a bit of spleen on it.
We were very lucky and managed to get some tickets to see the athletics at the Olympics in August and booked our accommodation in London back in June 2011 when we knew that we had some tickets.  The room price was going to be £125 per night B&B (not cheap but not too bad looking at other prices for similar in London).  No deposit, monies to be paid 1 month prior.  Everything looking good, or so we thought until the hotel called us to say that they are bumping up the price to £200 per night "...as it is the Olympics....".
Well, blow me but that is just too much for words, but probably just enough to refer them to the Office of Fair Trading....?
