Just wonderful they've just released the details of when the olympic torch relay comes through town IN RUSH HOUR ! It arrives in the town at quarter to 5 and is going to take a very circuitous route along most of the roads that get gridlocked at that time of day !!!! If you hear of cabbies throwing themselves off high buildings on July the 3rd you'll know why ! Seriously though i can see that the only way to deal with it is to offer either a restricted service or no service at all for 3 hours because you can bet your life on the police shutting the entire the entire town centre for 3 hours |

Storm in a Teacup. I wouldn't worry if I were you, the Local Rag may cover it and that's about the lot. I think that 100 mile tailbacks are only in the minds of the Promoters. Maybe there will be lots of kids lining the road for when it comes by their school. I'm sure that your passenger will understand. |

Yes you could try out that fire extinguisher that we must all have, but must never use |

here's a thought why not slip some crushed up blue tablets into the torch bearers drinks bottles that might make the procession a little more interesting !
