Torch arriving in sheffield

[FELICIA 10]

in eight days time we will see the olmpic flame arrive in sheffield. its a truly exciting once in a lifetime experience. and it makes me so proud to be a londoner that the games are being held them

[Spikie 10]

Whew! I was worried you were from Sheffield for a moment there!

Is John Burkill still carrying the flame? And if so, which stretch of the route is he covering, does anyone know?

I have looked on the official website at the list of torch bearers for Sheffield and he does not appear on there.

Ah, thanks, it wasn't on there last time I looked!

I was hoping he would be carrying it in his local area, Hillsborough. I would have gone to watch him since its on my way home, but otherwise, I'm not bothered about the Olympic flame.

I can't honestly say I give a dam!

Enough to post about it though eh?

 

Looking forward to seeing the flame come to Sheffield. Should be a great day and a piece of history for the City

Should be a great atmosphere for those who turn out to celebrate ... but don't blink, you'll miss it!!

[Priorylady 10]

it will be causing choas around the university roundabout and near the Hallamshire Hospital just when I will be finishing work for the day.

 

Oh joy

Proper waste of money, no benefit for Sheffield, we just help pay for it all. Not interested in the slightest.
