I hope the buyer realises that everyone of the torch bearers gets one. By the time they've finished the route there would be - iirc- 8000 of them!
:grin:

Isnt the one on bay, all proceeds going to charity?

Never put any mention in her listing of any charities..
Only when she was interviewed on BBC breakfast that any monies would be going to her own charity which she had setup.. :rolleyes:
End of the day they own the torches and most people would either keep it or donate money to charity when they sold it..

She wants to invest it into her community gardening project for her local area.
It is hers to do with what she wants... i'd give half to the 'charity' and buy myself something pretty :)

Its been withdrawn
But there is another one up at £145k

You right Hanny I dont see any reason why she shouldn't sell it if all that money already is being poured into the capital, and she can make a difference in her own community so be it.
I think its getting grey now, what seems to be a champion reason for selling such an item, has turned nasty by other torch owners who essentially is jumping on the publicity of the original idea?
Ebay might have to start controlling contract making so proceeds are actually going to good causes? :sad:

Wheres are they at the moment? Were here yesterday so cant be too far away, Im off on the rob! :evil:

(Hannahs understanding of the truth!)
they have created a "prepetual lantern" that is lit from the original source using mirrors and stuff (like something out of indiana jones) and they keep a load of these lanterns lit at all times and light more lanterns from these lanterns and use thelanterns to "relight" the flame so that the source of lighting them is always the same and it's like they've never gone out as its the same source of the flame.
That made no sense... well done me!
