What I find most interesting is that the second highest trafficked event was in the middle of the UK working day. A lot of employers must have seen some big productivity anomalies during the Olympics.

On the contrary, many believe it improved morale. We had the BBC playing 24 hours a day (working shifts atm) for the Olympics. During the day many of us would break for a few minutes to watch a Team GB athlete, but I definitely found myself not dozing off, as I tend to do when it gets quiet.
What could be an issue is the number of London-based employees who decided to stay away from central London for the duration. Many worked from home or took annual leave, anticipating travel issues.
