It's not courage, it's common sense.

Anyone whose beliefs deprive me of having a pint at the pub next door to my office are in serious trouble if they think they're going to stop me.

It was a pretty normal day, all in all, after the inevitable question of, 'where were you when it happened?' the conversation moved onto more mundane subjects.

I was quite sneakily proud of the fact that nobody was emotionally overwrought about the events at all.

That's awesome.  Way to be.  No stupid bumper stickers or "patriotic" country songs.  I wish my countrymen were half as sensible.

I still have the same little flag on a stick inside my car that I've had since 9/11/01 :eek:

If you really, really wanted to show your support, you would all lobby your government to sign the Kyoto treaty on climate change ;)

Ravells - I may have asked you before - do you work near Leadenhall Market? Was that area affected?

No doubt tourism in London is going to take a major hit by this.  People could help by not being afraid to visit Britain/London.
