London's been a blast
I'm currently writing this from London, in an inner city suburb not too far from the bombing site's. As revealed in an earlier post, I have relatives from London who lived through the Blitz of 1940 and their attitude has helped them (and many other Londoners) to get through the latest events (Bombers? Up (thrrrrp) 'Em!). in fact, we were a little concerned because of the sensationlist reporting of the media, but were reassured it was not all that bad. In fact, it has been quite fun (No, serious!!) We were sitting in a pub when the news reports of the failed bomb attempts were broadcast on the news. Initially the news was received in a hush, but when it was announced that one of the bombers they were looking for could be identified by a large burn mark on the back of his top and singed hair, the whole pub broke up laughing. Oh what a lovely war!
