I have a picture of me with the torch. Well, not exactly with it. I'm in the same photo as the torch bearer when it came along the south coast last month! There was a terrific turnout here too.

I'm glad you saw it too rossim;To be honest I was sceptical but the whole day turned out to be good fun.My local bar was offering cheap drinks and free food (Burgers ,Sarnies e.t.c)
My only complaint was the amount of advertising
preceding the procession.

There were rumours going round beforehand that you couldn't take in your own food. Not true. As long as it fits in a soft bag that is small enough to fit under your seat that's ok.
Although I thought your comments amusing I'm not risking being banned from a once-in-a lifetime occasion by having the wrong gear!
Sorry, no spare ticket.
