Little insight from London (publish only if you think appropriate)

After being close(ish) to today's events on the Tube, I rang a friend from the Middle East who happended to be in London to propose a night of beer, and crap (a.k.a. bad for you) food.

Beer was no problem, with 99% of Londoners treating today's attempts to disrupt our lives with the contempt we've given the IRA's similar attempts for over 30 years.

Crap food, though, proved more of a problem. First stop Burger King on Old Brompton Road closed, so we headed to BK on Gloucester Road - also closed. KFC next door? Also closed. So I questioned the guy putting out the rubbish (trash) - apparently, an HO edict had determined that they close in light of the "imminent threat".

Global brands? Start living up to the realities. This is not the time to be hiding.
