    2 minutes silence

    Will be observing it, though am at home on my own. Will feel a little odd.

    I'm in the office... it's appalling how many people didn't observe it.

          At least CUK showed a bit of respect.

            Yes, typing is not "observing quiet remembrance" it is working or cocking about on facebook or whatever else.

            I nearly got annoyed, then I remembered I was having a period of quiet remembrance.

              No-one here did, but then they lost

              Actually in Germany and particularly the area I'm in the 11/11 is the start of Fasching, otherwise known as carnival. Lots of people will be going out, wearing silly costumes and getting drunk from 11:00 onwards.

                Tossers. It should be a criminal offence to fail to observe it.

                Was listening to Planet Rock at the time, they stopped transmitting for 2 minutes. At least I didn't feel alone.

                  What type of industry are you in? I've worked in retail, government and now NHS and the office usually comes to a standstill, however in others like Banking, it's completely ignored.
