Little insight from London (publish only if you think appropriate)

After  being close(ish) to today's events on the Tube, I rang a  
friend from the Middle East who happended to be in London to propose  
a night of beer, and crap (a.k.a. bad for you) food.

Beer was no problem, with 99% of Londoners treating today's attempts  
to disrupt our lives with the contempt we've given the IRA's similar  
attempts for over 30 years.

Crap food, though, proved more of a problem. First stop Burger King  
on Old Brompton Road closed, so we headed to BK on Gloucester Road -  
also closed. KFC next door? Also closed. So I questioned the guy  
putting out the rubbish (trash) - apparently, an HO edict had  
determined that they close in light of the "imminent threat".

Global brands? Start living up to the realities. This is not the time  
to be hiding.
