Well you have to do it don't you? It only comes around once-in-a-lifetime.
Olympic Torch Relay - George Harding in Bath - 22nd May
Except tomorrow when it goes from Bristol to Swindon via Royal Wootton Bassett. And yes I checked the number of Ts and Ss.
Everyone wants to have a go with the Torch
Like the Autobahn a legacy of the Nazis. Sort of.
Not sure what the Met Police were there for except to pose. Each time they cleared the crowds off the road they seeped back on again so the support vehicles ended up struggling to get through. Beep-beep. Not sure what connection the disco-dancers and publicity vehicles have with the Olympic ideals.
Went off well. Lets hope in the real events they remember to put out 10 hurdles and not just nine!
A pleasant interlude.
