    Yeah, I was on the M25 this morning and didn't realise anything had happened until I saw the signs saying London area was closed. Looks like a right mess.

    I'm with you there, Sallyann. For ages they have been saying a terrorist attack was more a question of 'when' rather than 'if'. I think the police and security have done a great job keeping them off for so long. Sooner or later something was bound to get through.

    But God be with all those who have suffered and those have lost loved ones and bring them all comfort. A terrible day.

    :( Only the other week a friend & I were only saying that we felt that we were overdue some kind of terrorist activity in this country. They have tried hard I'm sure, but our security is good here so I'm sure it's taken them longer to acheive their wretched goals. Yesterday just reminds you that a determined person can be a dangerous person. Is it to do with the G8, religeon :confused: Whatever it is I do not see how you can acheive anything good, by killing innocent people. My thoughts too are with the family's/indeviduals caught up in this horrible mess. I must say though that our emergency services are wonderful,well done to them all.

    Glad to hear she's safe - its the not knowing isn't it. The imagination is a terrible thing with events of this nature especially with the media communication.

    Its been while coming, but expected - now we wait for the other shoe [​IMG] Congratulations to the emergency services and the london underground staff, - from all I heard, they did an excellent job

    :( Nick, that must have been so dreadful for you, our children are so preciuos to us & yet we always think ours will be ok & it happens to other poeple. Times like this make us realise how vulnerable we all are. So glad your daughter is safe & well. [​IMG]

    Thanks. All back to normal now.
    I'm in the garden Sunday, daughter asks if I want something cold, shouldn't have said "yes please" because it came out of a bucket..... :eek:
    Yep, back to normal
