Just can't feel interested in the Torch. It's coming past the end of our street in Heywood, and I don't think I'll bother. Having said that, it's nice to see the centre of Heywood decked out in Union Flags without the normal suspects trying to get them removed as 'racist'!! It's London's games, and we are getting the crumbs (oh, and the ever increasing bill!). For those of you that are into the Olympics, hope you enjoy,. For me, they are tending to overshadow proper coverage of the Euro's!!! |  | | |

Why would a Torch make you use the toilet ? |  | | |

I cant share the views of the 'older' folk on here bout the torch, ill be seeing it go past my way, it might be londons games, but seeing the olympic torch is a once in a lifetime opportunity, no matter how you feel about the games. |  |

The 'younger generation' will still be paying the bill in decades to come.
Montreal hosted the Olympics in 1976 and there is still a levy on local taxes to pay off the debt. |  |

I'll be out for it. I love the Olympics, what's not to love about having sport on tv all day every day for a few weeks? Not exactly 'excited' about the torch, but it is quite a big deal in my mind and it'll never be in Rochdale again. Unless someone nicks it. |  | | |

Not interested at all. The torch is passing pretty close to me, and the company I work for has encouraged people to go to see it.
I just don't see the point. Some no-mark holding a giant, flaming Toblerone as a symbol of something I have knack-all interest in?
I won't be watching much of the coverage either, if I can help it. What worries me is the extreme coverage BBC are devoting to the London sports day.
That said, I'll still watch snippets of it, I always do - it'd seem especially churlish to refuse to watch it just because it's in London. |  | | |

It's not a once in a lifetime event to see the torch, there will be another one in 4 years time and again and again............. |  | | |

Saw it go though Wigan and would have been gutted to miss it. Having the Olymmpics in this country is a very big deal for me, |  |
