I saw this morning that you logged in within the past 24 hours. Thank goodness. Whenever there is some kind of crisis, whether it be a natural disaster or something caused by humans, a person can't help but think of members here, past and present, who live in close proximity and hope that they are ok. I remember you worked in London, at least during the Olympics, and seeing your name logged in was a sigh of relief.
I wish for a quick recovery to those injured in the attack, and condolences to the family and friends of those who were killed. All of Britain's citizens are in my thoughts.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. As a mobile service engineer I do work in London from time to time, luckily I wasn't there on that fateful day.

Once again, Moonglum, I hope that you and your loved ones were nowhere near London this past weekend, and am expressing my condolences to all Londoners....and this time adding my apologies for the response of our Tweeter-in-Chief. He does not represent the views of the majority of our country.

He does not represent the views of the majority of our country. Thank you for your kind thoughts. I was working there today and the aftermath continues. The traffic congestion, always bad, is now even worse. It makes me wonder if these extremists are slowly winning with all the disruption they cause. I do feel very sad for those poor people on saturday night, out on the town to enjoy themselves, only to be subjected to the horror inflicted by these evil madmen. As I drove to the city today, for the first time in forty years, I actually felt a sense of dread at having to go there. Apologies accepted for the tweetings of your Clown-in chief (as a foreigner, am I allowed to call him that. If not, then my apologies.)

Why do a few have to ruin the good life for the rest of us?

It's horrible. It almost seems like if everyone thought too much about all the crazy stuff going on in the world, no one would ever leave their house.
No apologies necessary. He is what he is, and "Clown-in-Chief" is a mild title in comparison to many of the things he's been called, deservedly.

Drove back into London today. Drove across Westminster Bridge and was saddened to see the large steel barriers they've put up alongside Parliament. They are black and look depressing.
Election day today. Just got back from voting. I wonder what joys we have in store tomorrow.

I imagine it'd almost be a surreal feeling - the sky is the same, the buildings are the same, people, like yourself, going about their daily business, but with a dark reminder of what took place so recently.
I haven't had a chance to read the news this morning - my alarm went off this morning, and I decided I'd lay in bed and listen to the pleasant sound of rain hitting the roof for a while. I didn't listen long - it lulled me back to sleep!
