Re: 7:7


I work 10 minutes walk away from Tavistock Square where the bus blew up and come through Kings Cross every morning. I was on the tube before the one that blew up.

7 July last year was a very strange day. However, and I say this as someone who was there, we cannot let it get to us - or they have won.

There were a few more police this morning at Kings Cross. Otherwise, it was "business as usual". And for those of us who were lucky enough to escape the terrible events of last year and did not lose anyone they know, that is exactly how it should be.

Please don't wallow in feelings of trauma and upset - I don't mean this personally against anyone, it's a general "you" - if you weren't affected by bereavement, and especially if you weren't in London on that day, you have no right to get over-emotional.

Yes, we should absolutely pay our respects to those who suffered. But life does, and MUST go on.

Re: 7:7


My next-door-neighbour was on the Edgeware Road train that blew up. She was fine thank God - apart from being covered in soot and muck and all her clothes smelling of smoke; but could so easily not have been

Will be taking a quite moment to remember those that weren't quite so lucky . . .

It was horrendous!! My daughter, lives and works in London, that day, I didn't manage to speak to her till 3 hours after the bombing, to say I was worried is an understatement...

Re: 7:7


Well I was thankful that my OH didn't work in London (he worked there for 10 years - prior to last year)

He is back working in London now, but he is of the same opinion as myself that you can't let these terrible acts stop you working/living/visiting London. I know I myself would work there.

I'm sorry LMC but who gave you the right to make such a statment? Possibly had you thought that there were people here not caught up in 9/11? and it brought it all back.
