    It went past the end of my road. I didn't feel the need to get up at 05:30 on a Sunday to see it. I figured it might get a mention on the local news. I was not wrong.

    It came past us and we went to watch. Quite nice to see lots of people come and watch, some guy came and passed out cheap Union Flags for us to wear.

    There were LOTS of police but they were cheerful too - stopped to say hello and even high-fiving those in the street.

    Was also nice they didn't get all officious and try to clear the street... the crowd parted for the torch-bearer, people ran along-side at the side of the road, etc.

    I wouldn't go to the end of my road to see it if it was passing by.

    IMHO the sooner the whole over-priced shebang is over, the better.

    Perhaps it was left over from all those nice new shiny roads? Had a lovely drive last year from Rosslare to Belfast using all the EU sponsored motorways. The only slow bit was round Dublin (obviously).

    I don't know when it's passing near my home.

    I hope it goes out and they have to start all over again.
