Thread Name: Explosions in London
Subject: RE: Explosions in London
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
