Hey Jamie, was wondering how you were getting on up north. Ah, it's alright to have an opinion that's different to other people, right? ;)

Not too bad. Mini rioting in Leeds. About 6 miles from where we are. Nothing on the scale of what is going on in other cities thank goodness. It's unthinkable.

It's mad. It's been pretty scary at my work as well, was in the centre of a lot of it, got sent home, riot police on horses, the lot

Sorry, translated my bloody Northern slant of missing words out of sentences into the typed word, LOL I gotta try and stop typing on LJ how I speak sometimes.

I didn't mean "You're home okay" I meant "Is your home okay?" It was not a street that was attacked?

And yeah, I get that odd day thing. When Mam owned the Hotel in Chapeltown and we had the riots there in the 80's, it was terrifying and ... Well, odd. Kinda like a near death experience or something.

LOL! Good idea.

From sheer and unadulterated luck, when they decentralised my department into units, spread out throughout the City, the building they rent was less than 4 minutes walk from my house. But I do empathise, I used to have about an hour commute every morning before that.
