I just think it is wrong so many torches were produced, it takes the whole "bringing the torch to London" aspect away when so many people have torches. You are basically owning "a" torch rather then "the" torch which is a different thing altogether.

Yep...... pretty much sums it up Harry. The torch bearer was meant to be an honour and a priviledge - now it's just a commercial gimmick.

Sad.
