gulliver1 , yes someone is a bit barmy but to use the SA is a bit off, no doubt they will be there giving out tea and sarnies to the emergency service, unlike a certain poster on here.
AOG and Talbot - I know what you mean. Over the last 15 years I have radically adjusted how I travel through London. I used to take the tube. I stopped doing that and used to walk. Now I dont even feel safe doing that and get a cab everywhere.
Two weeks ago I was in London and I witnessed armed police with sniffer dogs stop a van and haul a guy out just outside Kings X. The fear that immediately went through me was palpable.
regarding taxis, local taxi firm have a system that if you phone for one from your mobile, they'll send a text giving the customer colour, make, model and reg plate of taxi arriving.
As a mere female, colour and reg plate I can handle, make and model are a different planet.
Do hope the burned person makes a full recovery btw and also hope no more are seriously hurt.
