What did people make of the olympic flame coming through the town area this afternoon.

Hey, I say area becuase even our Townie friends will be able to comment quite legitimately on this one!

I think it's been great for the kids and the younger age groups with all the entertainment along the route, etc.  For old codgers like myself, I saw the handover at Washington Street, Workington, this afternoon and it was over in a flash.   If it had been just one torch handed on from bearer to bearer it might have been different somehow but we are going to end up with, how many, Olympic torches!!!!!!!!

well, well, well, after your slavering about a joke regarding the town's olympics topic you have the gall to put this on here?!?!?!

being as i was born on mirehouse and lived on bransty for 30 years i could take offence, BUT, seeing as i have a sense of humour, unlike quite a few posters on here, i wont!

Just cause you don't understand what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good

I did not slaver about any joke. My words were "I thought it was for the kids, well done town"
I also didn't say I take offence to it. So please check your facts before posting rubbish.

in hindsight "slaver" was probably not the best wording, however, where exactly did i say you had took offence to it?

oh, and by the way, "I thought it was for the kids, well done town" were not your words  ;)

but back on topic............. big well done to all who had the honour of carrying the torch throughout the whole of our region
