My first 11.11 abroad, 9 years ago, and at 11:00am... fire drill!
I don't wear a poppy anymore. I've got bored of explaining to foreigners the purpose of it. Definitely would wear one and honour the fallen if I was in the UK.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Actually it's not a forced silence, people are only asked to respect it. Which implies you understand respect. Heigh ho...
Perhaps the OP should have been in the City at midday on the week after the 7/7 bombings. Close to half a million people stood in total silence, not even an engine running. Only noise was the birds.

Too much of this country is damaged by people's blind insistence on their right to do as they damn well please and sod everyone else. The OP's atitude is just one more expression of it.Blog? What blog...?Comment
