Ok, I'll come clean! Its not really what I do that has the risk - although it is a quasi-goverment office - its the location. I am just off the Strand in London, so almost every march in London is within a stones throw(!) of the office.


I was noticing on the way into work this morning which shops in the Strand have boarded up their windows as a precaution, and which hadn't. Starbucks, being a world famous example of cultural-imperialism, did not board its windows, but the Cornish pasty shop did. The camera shop, being full of high priced and resaleable items, did not board its windows, but an advertising office, whose windows contain nothing, did board up.
