We can’t quite believe here at dealchecker that the Olympics have almost come and gone – the final weekend is upon us, and while most of us are probably going to be glued to our sofas – or stadium seats – watching the games, it’s an incredible weekend to be out and about in the [...]
Londoners get a bad rep – according to popular stereotype we’re moody, silent, always in a rush – unless you’re thinking of a cheeky cheery cockney of course. Well, with the world about to converge on London I want to assure you all that Londoners are pussycats behind the cold and aloof exterior. So long [...]
Something amazing happened today. dealcheckers came into work early. But not because we couldn’t wait to get stuck into checking ‘em deals, instead it was because the Olympic torch relay passed within just a few feet of dealchecker HQ. Yes, we do know we’re nothing special, what with the route passing within an hour of [...]

Whilst Euro 2012 has been dominating sporting [...]

There are only 78 days to go until the Olympics now, and thanks to today’s ceremony lighting the Olympic flame in Olympia in Greece, we’re getting even more excited about it here (if that’s possible)! There’s been plenty to talk about over the past few weeks so here’s what has been making the biggest buzz [...]

Footy Fever Football fans do not fear. With the end of the regular football season coming to a close we are set for a summer of sizzling football [...]
I absolutely adored the innovative design of the Water Cube aquatics centre for China’s Olympic games, but since that’s approximately 5,000 miles and a visa application away, I was even more excited when I went to check out the London Games’ offering last week.
