# I was at the Wimpy on Oxford Street the week before it blew up.
Admittedly, the burger was a little dry, but it didn't bother me at the time.

# a week eh? that was a lucky escape :D
I was very nearly stood at the bus stop by Barclays when the bomb went off, had the missus and I not had a row we might have been all over the town centre

# Ha-ha! It was the event that made me start to ask questions about what was actually going on.
Prior to that, it was just something on the telly that my 9yr old brain couldn't quite fathom.

# Born in Co. Tyrone
I seen guns, bombs, soldiers IRA men, bodies etc. on an almost daily basis. Lost family and friends in the damn "troubles"
Came to England in 99 and can't believe these bloody marches are still allowed to take place and incite the crowds to riot, every single time. ARRRGGGHH!

# compared to what it was, very much so
dead high street, massively over priced houses, all the character gone. Despite the high street being mainly poundstretcher and empty shops I think its still the most expensive place to live outside London

# Wow, we always saw as a place to aspire to live in (20 years ago).
Always expensive, but it's sad if the high street and character is dead :-(
