I dont mean to offend anyone. Its just a bit to close to home!
I think that the Police, HEMS, the ambulance service, the hospitals, the authorities and London as a whole is doing a sterling job of getting through this rather dangerous and difficult time. I do wonder though, how many people who are saying that the police shot an innocent man, would act if that so called innocent, but running away man, had gone ahead and blown up another tube! Exactly everyone would ask why didnt the police do something as some people have already asked! The Police have 2 seconds to make a decision and lets get behind them and if they see fit to shoot, lets back them, lets face it, they have more info than we do!
A friend of mine was on the next carriage to the guy whose bomb didnt go off last week and watched the guy smouldering before he ran off! He spent some 5 hours with special branch helping them to piece together what happened as he has a good deal of knowledge about this sort of thing being in a section of the Marines. And he is just glad that it didnt go off! As we all are. He does say though that if he could got to him, he would ripped his bl**dy head off! Bomb or no bomb! The intent was there and that was a good enough reason to act! I hope no one takes offence and certianly not meant to stir but please lets get behind those who are doing a good job and who have to make those decisions that lets face it we wouldn't want to make either. Thats my piece for what its worth!
After reading everyones comments on Beer Cooling problems over the years, i have decided to take a fridge and possibly a gennie. BUT, does anyone know what converters we need to plug it into the power supply on the camp sites electric supply as we are supposedly going to have a power supply near our pitch?
