my thoughts and prayers, are with everyone travelling to and from London on this very sad day! Val:~)

Thanks Dave and all. I was in the right place at the right time this morning, late getting to Edgware Road Underground, and thus.... to all those not as lucky as I have been, I send you a prayer or something similar. XX BC

scum is the appropriate word .all i can say is you cannot beat us down.what you done today was a cowardly act but we are strong and will get through this.you will not win this war.peace will prevail over all evilxxx):

Thank you, it means a lot........ Rosi London

I echo Daves thoughts on this hope anyone who lives or works there or who has anyone there is safe,Brenda

WHY?, What can this possibly achieve, i just can not understand how anyone can want to kill, and injure innocent people. Shirley Ann.

Dave, Thank you. As usual, you are kindness personified. It's very sad that there are people who don't appreciate the scale of today's events. There are many thousands of commuters packed into railway trains, tube trains , stations, tunnels, buses, streets - it's a hive of activity, and it's very fortunate that many more people didn't die this morning. There will, of course, be knock-on effects - the Stock Market tumbled, and the £1 against the $1 fell sharply. Tourism is bound to be affected, and it could put off people thinking of coming to the Olympic Games, even though it's some years ahead. It will be awful for all those people who travel to work via the affected routes, as every journey will be a reminder of what happened today. Perhap Tony Blair will take the necessary drastic action now? CB >|< X

We were only talking about this last night on here and as an ex Londoner I know the horror of being caught up in something like this. To all of our London members may you and yours all be safe we are all thinking of you.

I was completing my last day of Jury Service today and didn't know anything about these attacks until I arrived in the Jury Waiting Room to find everyne crowded round the TV (was a bit scary as I'd just got off a double decker bus). There were loads of people trying to phone or text family and friends. We were all strangers to each other, at least until a couple of weeks ago, but it struck me how supportive people were to each other while they were waiting to hear about loved ones. The Ushers even delayed taking sitting juries down to the Courts until things were clarified. I'll never forget the last couple of days in that waiting room, yesterday the jubilation round the TV when the 2012 announcement was made and today the silence as we stared at the screen in disbelief. Thank god my dad has retired now, for 40 years he went in and out of Moorgate tube station every day, and I know I would have been worried sick, especially in the days before mobile phones. I'm so glad everyone on here seems to have heard that their loved ones are OK, sadly there are going to be many families who are not so lucky. Carolyn
