I accept this; I've said as much. What I don't accept is your assumption that this extended to people who were already employed as stewards. My main reason for not accepting it is that a) there's no evidence that I can find to support it, and b) it would have been a breach of contract law in the UK. If my employer had an event where they had to hire extra workers, they couldn't just turn around to me and say "well, since our extra staff had to work for free to get their contracts, you'll have to do some free work too, or you won't be allowed to work for this event". It isn't how contracts works.
Oh I did not know that lords staged the Olympics, I presume lords was hired, to stage events, anyway my daughter works when lords put on events, lords did not stage the event no breach of contract.
Your assertion fails
