As title, I posted in the London bombing thread but am guessing people would want to know about this if they don't already and may be avoiding that thread:

!

When i was in town tonight the bouncers had bullet proof vests on!

Just been to asda and loads of roads blocked off with armed policeman in 4x4s and volvos, couple of helicopters and policeman everywhere, mobile command centre outside a hotel....

Apparently bomb in a church.....hmm.

Will it be Carlisle next?

The world really has gone mad...

A controlled explosion was done on the suspect package I am told and all is well, it wasn't a bomb.

However, what worries me is that it DIDN'T make more than local news, I wonder where else these scares are happening - obviously hush hush to prevent panic.

??

Its been all over the national news.

yeah I heard about this in West Wales so everywhere must of! Lol

What, about Nottingham? If you mean B'ham then of course, but I was referring to Nottingham, I can find very little out about it.

no one cares if they blow up Nottingham

you never here what happens if a car brakes down and gets left near the garison here? they blow the bugger up, ben like that for years since the irish troubles

I would David Where I work though is far too secure (go through an airlock style system!) and where I live is far too quiet and nice.

done an edit ^

Yeah I saw that on a program before about the red hats (army police) - a car was left outside and they were very quick to react.

As my Dad said, when the IRA was at full whack there were enough scares to drive you mad. WHen I was little I am told I had to be taken out of the 'pictures' due to a bomb scare but I can't remember that....

cos they just left you in....you never mentioned nottingham.
