I must admit that I also read Dora's message in a totally different way than which others here seemed to have read it. She didn't upset me at all and I have lived through a mail bomb attempt on the life of my husband, have lived behind a police cordon during an IRA seige in London in the 1970s (Balcombe St seige for those who remember) and stood on a the same London platform where the IRA planted 40lb of plastic explosives packed around with coach bolts. My first reaction was to agree with her comment about London being a big place because I remember just enough from my study of statistics at University to figure out how unlucky one would be in a city of 7 (????) million people to be in one of those locations at that vital point in time. Statistically the odds against it are very large. Fran - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
