I'm in England so it was about lunchtime here when the news came through. We were in the middle of a football match when it broke and for the first time one of the teachers came down and stopped the (quite significant) match to bring everyone in to watch the news.

What made it more poignant was that I was there a few days before on holiday. And I was in London on 7/7 so I guess I have a habit of being in the wrong place
