Olympic torch

[brenda]

the Olympic torch stay alight on its journey round the country? If this has already been asked -- apologies.

Think part of the question is missing, are you asking if the torch would stay lit during the journey ?

[boxtops]

Yes

[jno]

yes. It's doing most of the trip in a car, I believe

[venator]

It's probably butane fuelled, and kept topped up.

The runners are given souvenir torches, which have hit Ebay with record speed -

If the torches are worth as much as being advertised on E/Bay; what are the 'back-up' Davy lamps worth.

The torch relay is all a lot of nonsense which was started in Nazi Germany.
