We first heard the news when my in-laws called from Japan to ask if my kids in England were all right. They are nowhere near London so I wasn't worried but several others called to ask if they were. I called this evening and.... they are fine.

I am so relieved to know that our Mudcat brethren and sistren are fine and so heartbroken to know that so many people have had their lives torn apart by this senseless violence.

On the one hand this is a wanderful world when people around the globe can pull together to help each other in times of need. I am in Guam, my in-laws are in Japan and do not speak English. They were worried about two young adults they have never met and possibly never will meet. The two young people in question are literally on the other side of the world from us. Also in this thread are people who have never met and people who are old friends and, with the exception of the trolls and flamers, we are all agreed that violence is not the answer.

And then there are those who reject the future and the melding of the human race into one big family. They strike out with words, guns, and bombs. They are both educated and ignorant. Some of them are rich but most of them are poor. They come from all walks of life and represent all races, creeds, religions and genders. We appeal to them to lay down your weapons. Make a stand for decency and peace.

Struck by a sobering thought this a.m.
Ten years ago my job involved a monthly credit meeting in Slough. My itinerary each month was to leave Manchester on Wed p.m., travel down to London, stay in Russell Square Wed night and have a meal and an evening at the 100 Club.
Thursday, early breakfast, underground from Russell Square via Kings Cross to Paddington and on to Slough for a 9.00 a.m. start.
I could easily have been caught in the middle of this, makes you think!
On the other hand, The IRA were up to their tricks in those days, and I still walked around London at midnight and felt safe.

Saw a report this a.m. saying that some hoteliers in London upped their room rates last night, in some cases triple.

The source for this was reported as "a number of people who decided to stay in London overnight".

If true, the profiteers should be named in all the media, so that visitors to London could avoid them.

The opposite side of this coin is the report that Marks & Spencer sent staff out with blankets, and bottles of water for the survivers, and walking wounded. When they ran out of blankets they took clothing from the racks, and handed that out.

Deserving of much praise and appreciation.

It just proves that crises can bring out both the best and the worst in us

I'm glad all the London Catters seem to be fine, I just hope all the others who might have been in London for meetings from all the other places in the UK are ok My mum was meant to be in a meeting near Russell Square yesterday, but on Wednesday their meeting was cancelled, meaning she didn't have to travel down to London (by train)... enough said really. but Circumstances and coincidence work in strange ways.

Best wishes to those who might not be so fortunate.

I'm alive!

I work in Aldgate East, just a few buildings from the tube station.
(If you saw the news coverage of Aldgate East tube, you saw our
building) I came through about an hour before all the explosions, but
some of my colleagues had closer calls - one on the tube before the
one that exploded, and several on the ones after, that never got in
to work. But we had nobody injured or lost, though lots of people
called to see if we were all OK.
We were blockaded into the office most of the day, as we were so
close to the station, and because there were suspect vehicles in the
streets at the front & back of us. Today there are rail services
running, and a reduced Tube service, but much of the streets are
cordoned off.
London was very strange yesterday - eerily quiet, with no traffic,
just sirens and helicopers, and lots of people wandering about,
shepherded by yellow-jacketed police and a few armed soldiers here &
there. Spooky. But it's not the first time we've been bombed, and it
doubtless won't be the last - although much of the City seems to be
taking the day off for a long weekend, there was & is no panic, and
people are just getting on with it.

I expect most things will be back to normal by Monday - just in time
for the start of the chaos that preparing for the blasted Olympics
will cause! :)

Some things stay the same even when they change. Here's what Noel Coward wrote about a song of his that seems newly relevant today: "London Pride was written in the spring of 1941. I was standing on the platform of a London railway station on the morning after a bad blitz. Most of the glass in the station roof had been blown out and there was dust in the air and the smell of burning.

I watched Londoners scurrying about in the thin spring sunshine. They all seemed to me to be gay and determined and wholly admirable and for a moment or two I was overwhelmed by a wave of sentimental pride. The song started in my head then and there and was finished in a couple of days.

The tune is based on the traditional lavender-seller's song 'Won't you buy my sweet blooming lavender'. I am proud of the words of this song. They express what I felt at the time and what I still feel":

Mark the beat of history.
Every street
Pins a memory down.

Linda left work a bit earlier than usual, yesterday and managed to get a train out from Cannon Street station almost straight away as the SE trains were not badly affected. She left at her normal time this morning and got into the city with no problems. Quite a lot of people who travel in from the North side of the river will probably take a day off today as much of the public transport from those areas is a bit uncertain.

Terrible and tragic as the bombings were, London is a very big place and the chances of being involved in one of the incidents yesterday would have been quite low even for those who work in Central London.

I'll be off to work in a short time, but the nearest my jouney takes me to the centre of Town are London Bridge and Waterloo stations.

The difference is - with the Blitz you knew where the enemy were coming from and you had a chance to defend or protect yourself. You knew that the enemy was 'over there' and you were 'here on the home front'. You had warning that they were coming and you knew where you would be relatively safe.

Yesterday there were no warnings, there was no way to defend or protect. The enemy was sitting on a bus next to you, standing on the escalator behind you, or living next door to you. The very places that kept Londoners safe during the Blitz, became tombs for some of them yesterday.

I agree that the response should be 'Get on with it and get back to normal'.... but normal is something that some 700 families may never be again.

And remember... mosquitos cause more deaths in Africa than almost anything else.

I can't understand what all the fuss is all about. I't's scarcely the Blitz with 60,000 odd dead is it? We should dissapoint the terrorists, who are watching all this over-the-top blanket media coverage with glee, and the mistaken impression that they have achieved something more than to bring Londoners together, by giving them a true English reply -

"Terrorist attack? What terrorist attack?"

Mosquitoes should be swatted, but not considered anything of any importance.

This is not hard-heartedness to the victims - who should be pitied and mourned - but a determination not to let these insignificant insects think that they have achieved anything. London forever!

Yes McGrath, I travelled through London today and the vibe I got was one of inevitability and a tinge of relief that it had gotten over with.

And although we all know the details are horrific, up until today we never knew if we would get hit 9/11 style or by chemical warfare in the tube system etc etc.

There is a sense that it could have been a whole lot worse numberswise, but that is not to detract from individual suffering. At the moment the numbers seem managable, but when the photos and life stories appear in the papers, and we 'get to know' the dead, I think the sadness will set in.

We've just got back from an overnight in Vermont and heard the news on the motel TV this morning. Luckily I was able to contact SINSULL who let me know that the London 'Catters were checking in but I still have to find out if my ex work colleagues got off unscathed.

If I hadn't moved to Maine I would have been travelling through Liverpool Street this morning.

Londoners all knew that this was going to happen some day but it still hits hard when it does. I do believe that there is a very stoical strain in the Brits, especially with the IRA atrocities that have occurred in the past.

Relieved to hear the London 'Catters seem to be present and accounted for... are there any we haven't heard of/from yet?

The analysis I heard on BBC radio seemed to think the G8 taking place would explain the timing & location of these attacks -- due to the world's attention being focused on the UK, the attacks would get more attention/have more impact.

LtS, your story reminds me of a Zen story (here's a much-shortened version): A farmer finds a horse grazing in his yard one morning; all his neighbours say "What good fortune!" He says "Maybe... maybe not..."

The horse kicks his son & breaks his (the son's) leg; all his neighbours say "You were right after all -- what bad luck!". He says "Maybe... maybe not..."

The army comes by 'recruiting' (think press-ganging), but leaves the son because he has a broken leg...

But then I got in the car and actually LISTENED to the radio. Oh. My. Gawd.

As soon as the computer was up at work I checked in at Mudcat, hoping to find news (good news) about our London Mudcat friends. And I'm very thankful that pretty much everyone had checked in and were safe. Didn't have time to check further (or even listen to the news) until I got home again (late) tonight.
