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.

Please don't get blown up honey :( I'm the first sort of nutter, but I want you to be the second sort!

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...

Oh, and I had police tape next to my house this morning, but for rather nastier reasons.

As someone who managed not to get blown up twice by the IRA, I still feel that terrorists win when they terrorise you. Best thing is to carry on with your normal life.

At present I see Blunkett as a far, far worse terrorist than any Al Queda cell in the UK.
