Olympic Flame…

The Olympic Flame has arrived in the UK and is touring the country before the opening ceremony. It has its own entourage of security with the police wearing strange looking ‘sporty’ uniforms and bustling out anyone who strays into the security envelope. So different from when it last came through the country in 1948 - I heard a tale of how when it came through our village then a local woman stepped up to the torch carrier and lit her cigarette on the flame.
