National Minute's Silence.

[B00]

There's to be a national minute's silence at 11am this morning to remember the victims and family of Manchester's attack.

Can I ask/request that as many of us as possible participate?

I found out last night that my husband's cousins wife and 12 year old daughter were there that night and are still in hospital, though thankfully it's nothing life threatening.

Have to say that whilst it was impeccably observed at the Cheshire Oaks shopping complex I was somewhat irked by the Japanese visitors who initially carried on about their business, then filmed on their phones those of us who were stood stock still in quiet contemplation.

Ho hum.

Bliddy foreigners eh?

At the risk of agreeing with Islay, I missed the meeting where it was declared compulsory to stand still in silence.

It's possible to think a good thought while mobile.

How would any other aber know or not observed the " silence" ?

At a guess someone saw Latest Posts update during that minute.

[anneasquith]

Thanks M. Would that warrant a suspension do you think. ? :-)

I didn't know about it but I was probably silent as everyone else was out all day. Sorry to hear your family were affected, B00, it must be a shock. I hope they're both back home soonest.

[Mamyalynne]

No.

Sorry, I too meant to send best wishes to B00's relatives for a speedy return home.

[Lie-in King]

Somehow missed this thread today - my best wishes to your family as well, B00.

I knew about the silence from the radio & stopped what I was doing for the minute.

Not a lot was sold....
