The ridiculous torch relay is a load of bollocks anyway. The carbon footprint is HUGE and it's an excellent excuse for more of the sponsors to get their names out and pretend that the whole thing isn't a money making exercise (well, it isn't for anyone LOCAL to the events that quite rightly want to try and make a buck).
And the Nazis came up with the idea.
That's a fair point, I seem to remember the ennobled ex Tory runner proudly saying the fuel for the torches would be the most environmentally friendly ever used by an Olympic torch relay, something like methane from fairies farts or something and the whole convoy seems to be bloody enormous, and the silly bastards took a wrong turning this morning making the whole thing 20 minutes late.
