Anybody going to watch it enroute.

The convoy is in my area on the 23rd May, huge crowds expected followed by evening celebrations.

I've just looked and on July the 10th it's actually going to be going down my road. Presumably to the McDonalds!

Especially if I can stand in my front gardend to watch it go past! Can't think why thedy'd choose my road unless it's on it's way to see the boys at Eton afterwards.

The convoy is made up of about 15 vehicles, each torch bearer runs just 300 metres, the torches kiss and away the next one goes. Coca-Cola are supposedly giving away shed loads of memorabilia and soft drinks.

They also have nice sets of pin badges.

Should be banned for environmental reasons. Have these people not given any thought for the future of our planet!!
One year I got a bike for my birthday. So I went peddling off down the road and knocked an old lady down.
'Can't you ring your bell?' She said. 'I can ring my bell,' I said 'But I can't ride my bike'
