Bomb scare over

[ciphergoth]

They've taken down the "Police Line -- Do Not Cross" tape outside the office, and the "suspicious car" has gone. I should so have moblogged that, but they told us to keep away from the windows.

I can't decide whether it's worse to be the sort of nutter who'll cross police lines to go to work or the sort of nutter who takes bomb scares terribly seriously. In the end I was carrying a big bag, it was hot and the office is air conditioned, so I and a colleague asked the police guy nicely pointing out that the door was *just over there* and he let us through.

Like me you grew up in London in the 70s, so it's almost impossible to take bomb scares seriously. I think that's a healthy attitude, though they do make good excuses to go to work if you don't want to...

Counts for those of us who grew up in London in the 80s, as well.

(although having said that, I admit to being glad that while kitty_goth is working in Canary Wharf, he's not *actually* in the big tall tower. Doesn't make me take bomb scares any more seriously when they occur, though.)
