London Fodorites, Please Check In
 

If you are NOT in London, please post on another thread.

Here.

Glad to see you.

Glad you are ok, Kavey.
I thought of you!

Kavey, How was your trip home?

I was luckily working from home today. I do often travel on the tubes and buses in the area in question but was safe at home in N12 today.

My sister who works at the main BBC offices in white city thought she'd have a hard time getting home but the buses in that area down to SW17 were running again by the time she left work.

Other friends walked hours home and others still never got to work in the first place and some had a fairly hard day but I'm lucky that none of my nearest and dearest were hurt today.

Here, trying to decipher bus maps to figure out how to get to work tomorrow. I think I'll give up and walk.

Kavey, Glad to hear you and your family are ok!

Good luck to all Londoners who'll be out commuting Friday morning. We'll be thinking of you!

What other Londoners have posted today and might be asleep safely in their beds?? I read Mr. Haines checked in...has PatrickLondon?? Who else?

Am hoping all are fine!

sadly if robespierre had not started slanting the original thread to politics, we could still see all the london fodorites who posted....but some people can't help themselves

Feel better, boopsie?

>Feel better, boopsie?<

Please stop it!

PatrickLondon isn't in London today..he;s in Paris and worried about his houseexchange partner

Hi OWJ, Patrick London posted a thread today titled "Paris Without A Backache".

Take good care!

Glad to hear PatrickLondon is ok and am hoping everyone else is too.

I'm just practicing to be a good Jewish mother--please, if you're in London, check in.

DID Ben check in? I ask because teh Russell Square area is his stamping ground and I have been thinking of him constantly since I heard about the bus?

Yes, Sheila...I didn't see it but several people wrote that Ben posted yesterday and is ok.

I'm here. Surreal walk home through a very quiet central London last night.

I had a friend on the Kings Cross tube train - she's shaken but ok.

Hi, I'm here, fit (or as fit as I deserve to be!) and well.

Just heard that one of my clients was on the Edgware Road train but is unhurt - and another friend just missed getting on the Aldgate one.

Rather brings it home. Thank you all for your kind thoughts.

Hi Tallulah
I'm glad you and your friends are OK. (and everyone else who responds from London)
Just wanted you to know how much I loved your joking comment about Moorgate/Margate yesterday.
I love your humour, and I just shared it with an old friend in London, and we had a good chuckle!.

bellastar - You flatter me! But thank you for your kind words.

(For the record, I've just done a search of Margate websites and have failed to find even one that includes pictures - what does that tell you!?!)

heh heh-v. good point Tallulah.
I have several close friends in London, and I have always greatly admired British humour-it always and ever puts a good face on things which, in this case are profound things.

Dear hearts, all of you.

Margate reminds me of a dreadful early "work" entitled "Why I never became a dancer" (it's a short film in reality) by Tracey Emin which describes her goings on in Margate - I watched it in Hamburg. It really doesn't endear me to her!

I'm so glad this thread was posted. For the last couple of days I have been away and believe it or not, in a place where I couldn't get to the internet!! I wanted so much to hear from our friends in London. I'm glad to see that so many of you are OK, and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I'm here - mainly lurking!!!

Sheila, Ben did check in yesterday, and posted his Romania, Poland and Germany trip report.

My warmest sympathy to all of you Londoners.
