Ha, so did I.
Something crap about 'Oh, sounds like the French are blowing up London in revenge for losing the olympics'.

I felt like a right shit.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.
I meant 'so did I' make a joke, not actually hear it. I was listening to the radio about the explosion at Moorgate before they knew what it was.

Although I did hear the IRA Liverpool Street Bomb in about 1996, so I know what you mean about how they sound.

Ah, I was working at UCL at the time
My office was just off Tavistock Square.

I know it well
My cheating death story is I worked in Tavistock House, next to the BMA, exactly where the bus blew up a mere THREE YEARS earlier...

I cheated death that day by getting off the tube about 2 or 3 stops before it blew up
I think. I've never really wanted to consider it too much.

But then you cheat death every time you don't walk in front of a bus, so it's a bit meaningless

I was at 6th form when it happened
Was quite odd walking into the common room, turning the radio on, and having everyone sat round it, listening to details.

Did you go to school in the 1950's?

Aw bless!
God I feel old. When I was huddled round the radio in the sixth form common room listening to a major breaking news story it was Thatcher resigning.
