    There was mention of a US TV news crew doing a piece to camera, all "This is a city under siege, no one knows where the next strike will happen" when into shot wanders a lad strolling by eating a bag of chips.

    Pretty much my memory of 7/7

    There are two types of attacks on London

    One that happens and you go the pub
    One that happens while you are already there

    There was a bomb scare at Westminister once when we were walking in the door having just returned from lunch. D being the B P of V, we turned on our heels and returned whence we had come.

    Well done, the pub, indeed.

    Much better in the old days before social media and the likes.

    I remember the Bishopsgate bomb and only finding out about it quite late the day after.

    One of those "Where were you?" questions:

    Which pub were you in when the 1996 Docklands Bomb went off? It was a friday, after all, and I remember hearing/feeling it from the basement of Dirty Dick's by Liverpool Street Station.

    I was doing my journalism course at the time so down in Mitcham - in the Goat, not the most salubrious of venues but regular haunt of Kevin "Tosh from the Bill" Lloyd

    I was living in Rotherhithe and we thought someone was moaning about the volume of Pete Tong's essential selection and banging on the door.....anyway, we went to the pub downstairs
