Splendid Olympic Torch Relay

I haven't read too many congratulations in the paper directed to those who organised the Torch Relay, so here are mine.  I think it remarkable the way it has gone so smoothly, with excellent choice of torch-bearers.  About 6 weeks ago we, in Thornton Heath, were told it would pass through here on July 23rd at 11.30 a.m. and it did just that.  We had only to go to the end of the next road, where a lot of people were collected, and, for once, there was some sense of Community.  It was good to see the normally empty streets full of people walking and we all cheered and shouted when we saw the flame being carried by a man in a wheel-chair.  A man in a shop there brought a chair out so I could watch in comfort. When I took it back, overcome with the feeling of goodwill we all experienced, he gave me a smacking kiss on the cheek!   May the whole Olympic show go off in such an atmosphere of friendship and goodwill!
