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.

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

I was living in Stepney back then. Our windows felt like they were going to be blown in.

Stepney - the capital of East London. I gather you don't have fond memories, but it has a fine old church, and in the nursery rhyme. Some very elegant old Georgian houses too on Stepney Green. And a city farm!
