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