An explosion has ripped the top off a double-decker bus outside the BMA
causing fatalities.
And another one just gone off in Hounsditch area.
The whole London Underground has been shut down.

It appears that there has been 6 explosions... viz.
Russel Square (double decker bus)
Edgware Road
Kings Cross
Liverpool Street
Aldgate East
Moorgate

No buses are running in Zone 1. (central London)
The underground system has closed down
Ken Livingstone is flying home from Singapore.
Tony blair will make a statement at 12 noon.

Sanyo 100e After it scanned for programmes up popped sky news and I was
thinking It had a digital tuner for a Minuet, But it was CH 5 showing sky
news.

Its to replace the VCR that has started playing up. But it will mean I can
copy tapes to disc without having the comp tied up for hours

The area around Brighton Station i.e. Queens Road and Terminus Terrace
has been cordoned off and the Royal Naval Bomb Squad are about to
conduct a controlled explosion on a suspect package.
