...but it won't stop Nationwide!
Today not only saw a month's rain fall in one day, but it was also the day that Nationwide Milton Keynes and Nationwide Oxford joined in with the Torch Relay.
Milton Keynes received the torch last evening, and after a night's rest and the torch on charge, an extremely relaxed team donned the George, Zippy and Bungle costumes and set off for Enterprise Aylesbury.
A little mix up at Enterprise meant that the torch was a little stuck, but never fear, Nationwide to the rescue...torch successfully collected from Aylesbury and returned to Oxford, where the George, Zippy and Bungle costumes caused much excitement.
All this rain, and the Silverstone Grand Prix has given the Oxford team a bit of a challenge to get to the ABP Club in Leicester by close of play, but they are on their way in the Nationwide Mercedes, and we're sure they'll arrive safe and sound in a few hours.
The team at Oxford certainly gave them a good send off, once Bungle and Zippy had finished their tussle that is...
Next stop for Nationwide on the Torch Relay is our Leicester Repair Centre on Monday and rumour has it they are on two wheels...!
