It's been a very busy month and a half. I found myself in the United States for most of May- work was fun, but non-stop. Now my friend John is visiting the UK.
"It's funny," he said, "At home, World War 2 seems like history, I guess I never realized what a deep effect it had on London. Everywhere you go, there's a monument to the war."
His words were truer than he knew, because Yesterday, our travel through the city was punctuated by announcements that the District Line would be closed from 9:30 pm on as the Metropolitan Police dealt with yet another reminder of World War 2....
...an unexploded Nazi bomb.

That's the kind of living history exhibit I could do without.

wow. and i thought "person under the train" was a significantly gruesome announcement to hear on the tube. a nazi warhead is a nasty and frightening reminder from the past...
