It is reported that Gabby refuses to leave her room in the Olympic Village and sits glued to the TV watching old episodes of the popular soap in an attempt to catch up with the current storyline while scoffing down pasties, pies and mushy peas.</p> <p>It isn’t just the food, TV and safety of Britain which is tempting US athletes to remain in the UK nor is it the fact that America is full of “nut jobs with guns.”</p> <p>Women’s pole vaulting champion, Jennifer Suhr, the third medallist to have sought refuge in London, says she just loves British beer and cannot imagine having to return to New York and sit in boring old sports bars all day, sipping weak American beer....not after sampling fine English bitter.</p> <p>She tweeted "Not going home, love the Dog and Duck pub, mines a Boddingtons, no more Bud Lites for me, tastes like piss LOL" to her millions of fans late last night. </p>
