Well, it all heals
Jul. 8th, 2005 09:27 pmI'm told from relatives that London is surprisingly normal this morning, one (a rather insensitive uncle I never get on with) pointed out a newspaper headline from Germany:
You can't bomb the British, they just ignore it and carry on as normal.
It amused me no end (in an inappropriate fashion of course, especially given it was a German paper). But I do think it's very true. Interlock ha sposted a link on her journal (will come back and do the HTML thing when I'm lessdrunk tired) about peopel drinking tea. Soic stubborness and blase behaviour is very British.
My 2 colleagues got back OK. 1 was in court, safe and spent all the time grumbling about the delay on the trains. The other was actually on the tube at the time and pretty close to Kings Cross - he was evacuated and caught up among lots of smoke blackened people. He's similarly blase, but I'm a little worried about him, I think he may be in minor shock - he kept loosing the thread and staring into space and he shook, ever so slightly, now and then. I think the bosses agreed, because they put the kettle on (yes, they used their own sainted hands!)
I alsop found out 2 of my cousins were in London (I have about 38 people I call 'cousin' I lose track). Gareth had a hell of a commute (and moaned). Heidi asked me "what bombs?" Crazy mad scientist that she is - she hasn't left her oncology lab for 4 days and didn't realise anything had happened.
