Jon Kennett Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I just called the Mrs and said I was going to pick her up. She said that there was no way I would be able to get in through all the police and ambulances and they have been advised it is safer to stay where they are. Thing is, she works in The Poultry building which is right above Bank Station, and any bomb at that station could bring the building down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
