The enthusiasm for the torch relay has not abated in any way. There were Great bits of TV footage from central London, with the working day brought to a standstill.

One moving scene was of the wheelchair torch bearer crossing the Millennium Bridge, opposite Tate Modern. There were no spectators on the bridge.

I work on Oxford street and got out of work early so I could miss the traffic of people on the hot tube. Temperatures were 30 degrees and a few people already fainted...a crowded tube is never good. Especially with the extra million people each day over the Olympics :/

What's your choice of bell??
We Brits have all been asked to ring a bell--any bell--at exactly 8.12am (Greenwich Mean Time) this morning. That's because it will be 12 hours exactly before the start of the Olympic 2012 opening in London. Is that Exciting or what?:-) specially at this time of the morning!
So, ever the obedient child, here's what I'm ringing:

Richard, you need to stop listening to Chris Evans & get ready...go find a BELL.:-)

I'm not sure my neighbours would appreciate me ringing my bell? I had heard of this but I haven't registered on line yet. Stranding, my bell looks like yours! It's my doorbell. When I'm in my garden, I can't hear the front door so we put this brass bell on instead. Works a treat.
