I only got a drum because she put one in the post to my daughter. We live in the Channel Islands so only a plane load of Olympic people came to visit, no coke car here...and like you, in a few seconds the torch had been and gone!!

Now, the money was going to charity it seemed and I have obviously no problem with that concept, but while I could almost grasp it would be exciting for the young kids that were going up, I could not see how there was any meaning in having your photo taken with someone else's unlit torch in a pub garden!! I clearly also don't yet have the Olympic bug.....Penniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515501978504394146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458373421337133893.post-74554951846220531462012-07-26T09:40:34.378+01:002012-07-26T09:40:34.378+01:00I haven't seen the torch yet, not too sure the...I haven't seen the torch yet, not too sure the flame would inspire more excitement either.
