To be fair it's not going to be the WI now is it?
Yes but it's unconfirmed.

Can sonebody tell me this:
BBC News have recently been showing a picture of someplace underground, looking like a train, and then a big shine of light looking like an explosion, and then zooming in to a man who was sitting on the train.
Is this an image of a bomb going off?

It's good that it's something small and doesn't seem to have worked as well as I presume they would have wanted it to work with regards to panic and terror.
I've had Radio One on at work all day. It's playlist has been vastly superior and Jo Whiley and dreadful Colin have kept their mouths shut only namechecking songs.

I've got Radio 1 on now and I've heard Scott (who's on for a second time today after covering for Moyles at breakfast, poor thing) do a traffic report on Radio 1. I've never heard them do traffic before on R1 (apart from on the Chris Moyles show with One Road travel).

It is a very sad day and my heart goes out to the 37 families whose lives have been destroyed today and the many others whose lives will never be the same again.
It was only a matter of time before there was a Terrorist attack on London. It is a terrible thing that happened today but it could have been much worse. Thankgoodness it wasn't.
I believe we must fight the war on terror. Even though it's a tough fight to fight, when you don't know who your enemy is and you get no prior warning. We've fought terrorism before and will continue to do so. We're a resiliant bunch us Brits.
