Bomb scare in London

[darmstadt]

Little brother who works in the Gherkin sent me a picture, apparently a taxi was parked outside their local and was partially blown up: Bomb scare outside London's Gherkin building - Telegraph

Maybe he only popped in for a bite!

There are always bomb scares in London.

The IRA helped Londoners get use to that fact......

We make up a large population of the UK.

We make up a large population of the UK.

No, only about 8% actually. That's a minority in most people's book.

12.9% according to the 2011 census.

The second most populated region of the UK after the South East at 13.7%

Scotland has only 8.4%, the same percentage of people who live in the South West.

I went for an interview down that neck of the woods last year, had to stop for an urgent tulip in the slug

Those steel dinosaur sculptures nearby were good.

I used to go to the slug when I worked in the city until they scammed my credit card there.
