The benefits of being late to work
My memories of the day are a bit blurry - working (also) on a helpdesk/IT dept, waking up a bit late and traipsing down to the station, and deciding I was going to buy that damned coffee, rather than run for the train.
Get to Kings X and get told that the underground is closed. Electrical fire. Surprising amount of police around for a fire.
Try getting a mobile signal to call up the office, nowt.
Went to the main councourse and it was only then that suggestions of bombs were coming around.
Ended up sitting outside the main councourse talking to an american exec about the patchy info we had, wishing him well, and walking down Caledonian Road to the office. Then waiting for people to arrive; that was the worrying part.
A few people I know lost friends that day; by virtue of waking up late, I managed to miss being one of 'em.
Train was unsurprisingly quiet the next day.
