Olympic Torch coming our way…not again!
There is a lot a hype about the Olympic Torch and Hoo Ha coming our way soon… I saw the last one in 1948 aged 3 and a half, with my mum and Uncle Bob and Auntie Rosemary. Not sure if Rob aged nearly two was there, or Dad We waited at what I now know was Little Ann Bridge – just about 5 people on the Salisbury Road into Andover. After a long time a motor bike came along. About 3 minutes later a single chap in white baggy shorts holding the torch came by. About 2 minutes later a following car went past. I remember thinking it was a bit disapointing then, but at least he was headed from the West to London unlike the strange zig-zagging all over Britain we are having this time….It will rain but have fun everyone…I will not be attending this time…
