I found myself sitting in the car in Tesco's carpark this morning waiting for the wife to emerge. As the clock ticked it's way to the Eleventh Hour, there was an announcement over the store PA that a silence would be observed shortly. I was absolutely sickened by the veritable stampede of shoppers racing to exit the store before the appointed time >:( At the stroke of 11am, I stood to attention with bowed head beside the car and fumed at the almost total lack of observance by old & young alike as they loaded the shopping into their cars. I know that there would have been as many if not more who did observe the Silence, but it left a very bitter taste in my mouth. Great Britain?, once it was undoubtedly, and worth fighting & dying for then; but now?, I think not! United Kingdom? in name only from where I was standing!! >:( :( :'(

TBH I tend to try and stay home for exactly that reason... It does my head in that people cannot take 2 minutes out of their day in respect for the brave men who gave up their lives for the freedom of the country >:( >:( >:(
