I’ve looked a couple of times when it has been on and couldn’t spot any ELO reference.

I have got tickets for the athletics in the main stadium and the batton passes within a 100 yards of our house on the 28th July so I’ll watch that along with the cycling and running for the triathlon which is in Sutton park.

Looking forward to it and should put Brum on the map.

Eloise: unomusette, you are so right about all of us being a tiny bit from Birmingham. I can't tell you how many times I have had the Birmingham blues and wished I could be there. Aug 29, 2024 15:01:23 GMT
