Well there it was. Town closed from 4am. Hundreds of police. Some Met police waving at the crowds. Big noisy sponsors' buses. A bloke in a white tracksuit with a flame. Photograph of the back of a bald man's head as he stepped in front of me and then its all over and we are left with hundreds of dim folk wibbling about town like a zombie flick.

Good for trade? Is it f*ck!

Thanks for the update beau
Yes, I think that captures the Olympic spirit nicely
Bald man's head should bring back happy memories.
What's the name of your pub?
Have you got rooms?

Hahaha. It went past my shop and, to be honest, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Agree: Its a sponsors' jamboree.

It went past the end of my road at about 8:30 this morning, and if my calculations are correct, it would've come close to Stoopy de Gunt about 30 minutes later, then whizzed by Mary Evans some time later in the morning.

Indeed, there was I sipping a latte and lightly nibbling a biscotti this morning, when a torchlit procession passed by. We normally preserve those for ethnic minorities or those on benefits around here, but change is as good as a rest.

Saw it go past on Friday, just before some oik tried to nick it. Surprised it wasn't melted down before the police grabbed him.

At least there was a genuine athlete carrying it when I saw it (even though she competed for Italy).
