After living there on and off for a year or so, I feel somehow attached to London. Many Aussies and indeed people world-wide do also.
Edgeware Road is literally just down the road from our place in Cricklewood (although we never used that station we drove and walked past it many times), we changed at and drove past Kings Cross several times, and Mooregate/Liverpool Street was where I got off for work every day for six months.
So Londoners, I feel for you.
At the same time, the best media summary I have found so far is
here. Lets stop jumping to conclusions and get some facts.
The
Wikipedia story was better than the TV as I took them both in simultaneously last night. Similarly for the
Guardian Newsblog and the Joe-public contributed
Flickr photo pool.
