Calm down Tez3. Most people outside the UK wouldn't know how a Yorkshire accent sounds and how unsnobby it is. At the end of the day, it's happened and the world has kept rotating. People joke all the time about more serious things than someone missing out on a gold medal (I've read loads recently about the Australian floods).
It doesn't mean they don't think it was/is serious, it's just a light-hearted way of blowing off steam.
Don't get your knickers in a twist, we're well known for having a sense of humour in England...
Oh dear you don't know me very well I'm afraid if you think I'm upset so please don't tell me to calm down. When you've been here a while you will realise that. I post always with tongue in cheek so don't get all po faced and precious please. If someone posts nonsense up they will get a sarky answer, simples.
