Good for you, Derek, its nice to know someone who actually got to see the elusive torch.
I'm with Trefor on this one though, it seems that very few will be allowed anywhere near the torch.
Despite earlier promises that it would visit every county in Britain it is not coming to Roxburghshire at all so our towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso and Newcastleton will all miss out. Hawick is a particularly serious omission as this is a prime destination on the main A7 tourist route from the English Border to Edinburgh. If the poor planning of the torch relay is anything to go by, then I have much cynicism about the English Olympics.
