get a grip scotty lad it was a once in a lifetime chance to watch a piece of history and i for one wasnt letting that pass my boys by. Its unfortunate that the road next to your business was closed but if that was the case you would of had plenty notice and should of shut up shop for the day and embraced the moment:p

dont worry mate it will never happen again in your lifetime but on the plus side people who were lining the route who didnt know you were there before now know you are
 
Nice pics Kopite! Just one of those experiences the kids will probably never see again. Bairn was snapping away with his camera, don't know what he'll have on it. Took the camera home to dry it but he kept the card so they could look at the photos at school. Kids got drenched but didn't complain it was just fun with their mates.
 
Far from a waste of money, in my oppinion, in my lifetime past or future there is no amount of money could pay to repeat having the spirit of the olympics pass through my home town ....
