[QUOTE Nope. It's because those events e.g. dying of old age, dying of illness, dropping dead suddenly from undiagnosed heart defects, car crashes, home accidents are expected to happen as part of normal life. People don't expect to be blown up by a bomb.[/QUOTE]
Amen to that.

5 people were killed in an accident on the M6 yesterday, no one besides their friends and family cares

But my query was more around the suggestion part and who in Govt is responsible for it. And for those of us working in Big Corp, we get all the usual emails, etc
Also, when did the 1 min silence start in the workplace, I'm struggling to think when it was "introduced"..
