The Olympic Torch passed through Fife yesterday and today.

Not through Kirkcaldy, though.

Even if it had I would not have gone out of my way to see it. I don’t see the Olympics bringing much benefit to this part of the world. I very much doubt that they will do so to London either.

However, a few roads in Dunfermline were closed today. As a result I had half a day off in the afternoon.

Some good came out of it then.

But where are all the voices moaning about how such disruption is damaging to the economy?
