Guest Alan - although you did start the thread as you are a Guest I am unable to contact you via a pm to discuss the title. As this appalling event has affected many people, I am going to add 'Woolwich' to the thread title so that we don't get lots of other threads starting on the same subject. If you would like to join Mudcat, you will be able to use all the functions, including messaging people.

Also, it would be sad for people to get the idea that this event defines 'Britain' or 'Britishness' - I hope you agree.
