Just saying

I keep imagining one of those reporter packages overnight on the BBC News channel, introduced lugubriously by Zeinab Badawi. Some far away country, probably ending in A, where a benighted and impoverished population are getting up at 6am in villages and towns to see someone jog past with a lighted torch, followed by police cars and coaches. Eventually the running stops, and the coaches drive on to the next expectant crowd. Oh, how we'd chuckle to ourselves.
