My oversight but it does say "those of you who have written in"

The man is an idiot and should be sacked for saying things like that. Any fund raising of any kind can never be called annoying if its done for the right reasons by the right people.

That's why I said an apology of some sort, he should really have apologised to all those who dragged their arses out of bed on Sunday morning to get there.

After seeing this linky

I think he might see things more like this rather than the real world view.

That's your opinion, although probably quite well supported on here. People will always want to express their opinion, and some are better placed than others to have theirs heard. Of course, they didn't just get there overnight, most had to work their way up a ladder and they didn't do so by generally expressing misguided, ill-informed and unresearched views.

"In the summer I told how my mate, writer and top bomb disposal expert Major Chris Hunter was running the marathon in a very heavy bomb suit. Now that's a proper sacrifice for your pals! and it doesn't put anyone out."

Marathons don't put anyone out?

This tw4t has obviously never tried to get round that London when all those part-time running freaks decide they want to raise money by wearing fancy dress and strolling around on closed off public highways.

Wootton Bassett = small Wiltshire village/town that doesn't have much happening on Sundays

London = English capital which doesn't really stop or slow down at weekends

Which do you think suffers the most disruption and inconvenience when some group raises funds by closing off roads?

Very well put.
Having seen the Guardian article before the event that Sid Squid mentioned I was a bit worried that the event was not what the residents wanted. But having seen so many lining the streets supporting it, I don't think there's any doubt that the whole thing was positive.

Well I'm not accustomed to reading the Guardian or anything in it but it was posted on another forum and I kind of held it in some high regard as a quality newspaper, unlike the Mirror that this is in. But it really was vile trash from some poor deluded individual that obviously wasn't speaking for the residents of WB that he claimed to be.
