I think we hogged all the torches today, as we had two outside our house !!  Bus pulled up and a guy got out with a torch, and about ten minutes later a runner followed and changed over right outside.

it's my fault I found out what happened. the small bus went past with what we thought was the flame cause we saw a girl on there with a torch not realising it was about 5 mins behind that so we left and it came through as we were round the corner and away to home. god I feel an idiot as I've been ranting and raving bout it ;D ;D
