Well that went well, wandered down to Tesco's with the rest of the dev team here chatting away merrilly and walked in wondering why the hell everybody was standing still and saying nothing.

They announced the thank you about 5 seconds after we clocked what was going on DOH!

It's a lovely sunny day. Do everyone good to get a bit of sunshine and fresh air.

Call me a cynical old fool, but I think it is a load of old bollocks. Look at it from the terrorists' point of view (not the dead ones, obviously).

# They achieved one or two days of solid, wall-to-wall broadcasting on all channels, plus a further week (so far) of debate and comment about how horrified we all are. Everyone who is anyone is having their say.

# They have their own logo, printed in the papers - the London Underground sign with 7/7 in it.

# They now have a two-minute silence around the world which will recognise what they did.

Great publicity.

It looks like lots of people will be standing outside of offices etc. If it does one thing it shows solidarity and I'm all for that!

Yes, we are here too (todays is a mutli national transportation co. in Denmark).

I find it a little embarassing how many people have come up to my office specially, or phoned, or emailed, etc..
