 Yesterday the Olympic Torch came to Basingstoke. The flame was burning and it was coming to town. Basingstoke flooded to festival place and the surrounds to see the flame. The crowds were huge (for Basingstoke). You could feel the tension mounting. Especially as the crowd control tried in vain to control the crowd. But of course we are from Basingstoke and we don't listen! There were several crowd surges to better vantage points; where the frustrated and powerless crowd control stewards told us we shouldn't stand. The people from Basingstoke cared nothing for on coming traffic, nothing about the dangers of standing in a busy road, all they cared about was seeing the Olympic torch in this once in a life time opportunity. As I watched, I thought to myself it is obvious that these people are excited about the Olympics, but the question that came to mind is "are you excited about the Olympics?" So we thought we would ask. Are you excited about the Olympics? Do you have tickets? Are you moist with anticipation? Click on the poll on the right and let us know how excited you are about the Olympics. | |
