mick2me 3,033 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I,m now kicking myself for not being picked to carry it! The most expensive sold so far went for £153,100! http://www.ebay.co.uk/csc/i.html?_sop=16&_sacat=0&clk_rvr_id=359823391013&_from=R40&_nkw=olympic+torch+2012&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc do you think the price was helped by 'Free Postage'?

catfan 14,793 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Total waste of time and money, hijacked as a diversion to take the peasant's minds off the state of this country, I'm with you Ash on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 And you can bet the bankers like such diversions. Police taken off the streets replaced by PCSOs And money spent on this over the top extravaganza! Fly the flame over and take it straight to London. Again we are living beyond our means. I bet Greece would not be doing this... Come to think of it they probably wouldnt have an Olympics! We'll soon be as skint as Greece! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
