Re: Olimpic Torch.
I just find it madness that the majority of the torches journey is actually being done by coach
.There are millions of people who would have loved a chance to carry it even if only a few yards, to make it possible to have it run and walked the whole route.
I also am dissapointed that there are so many torches. I know its mean't to be the same flame (which it isn't now after it went out) but i thought it was also one special olympic torch that was passed from person to person.
I think all this just ruins it for me and turns it into a farce the country cannot afford.

Re: Olimpic Torch.
True....It would be better if it had been done the old way, carried by Runners the whole Route. But think how long it would have taken to travel the whole route that way. Also as the Games are being held in London, Scotland wouldn't have got a look in if that had been the case. I guess if Truth to be told.......The Torch should be run around the whole of London only. But that's progress for you and we don't have a say.12-06-2012, 11:12 AM
