I got a mail from a friend at work yesterday and had a little chuckle…
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have recently raised their security level from ‘Miffed’ to ‘Peeved’.
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to ‘Irritated’ or even ‘A Bit Cross’. Londoners have not been ‘A Bit Cross’ since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.
Terrorists have been re-categorized from ‘Tiresome’ to a ‘Bloody Nuisance’. The last time the British issued a ‘Bloody Nuisance’ warning level was during the great fire of 1666.
It’s so true.
As a kid I remember growing up whilst the IRA we’re quite active. On a monthly basis there would be a bomb scare in a local shopping centre or something and it would just be a pain in the backside. But the one thing I remember the most about that whole period, the single most annoying thing for me, was the fact they took all the bins out of the train stations. It still happens. I challenge anyone to find an open bin in a London train station!
