So I stood for almost an hour and saw nothing!:(:mad:
Where i live there were loads of people selling cheap rubbish. And yes there were a few people around the runner but i managed to get a really good pic for facebook
I only went because its somthing you may never get to experance again

might be more interesting for them if you were the one carrying it, but other wise there are 10000s of photos of random people with them
just my view
its going past my house next week,not going to make a special effort to see it, if im there im there if not im not
it will be on the news, papers etc afterwards despite my residents pass to get to my road (which is being shut off for the day because of it), ill prob steer well clear and go away for the weekend... to many people blocking up all the surrounding road and area0 -
