At first (4hrs back) I thought it was maybe just a stupid accident... but
this is clearly linked to the London stuff a few days back... I hope I'm
wrong but I don't see any issue with making this news item on the Vista
group (good god - if it only helps one family)

I have to agree with Gordon (and I speak as a fully paid-up member of the
SNP). This is a dreadful event, in frightening times, but ...
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general is not the right forum.
The BBC website might have returned a few HTTP 503s while it was receiving a
huge number of hits, but I don't think the BBC was ever in danger of being
"taken out". The radio and TV were broadcasting the whole time.
Cheers

On 9/11, we were all New Yorkers.
Today we're all Brits.

Someone in your extended family could have been directly or indirectly
affected by these events on a near immediate basis - getting breaking news
info out was my only concern... I have no regrets at all about that...

I suppose it is true that, on hearing of the London bombs,
someone might think...
"Hmmm, London sounds dangerous, lets fly into Glasgow instead."

Good for them! We've done that here, in the face of a fair bit of
business opposition and public scepticism.
Plastic bags thinner than a certain thickness are banned here, and
shops are supposed to charge for bags (and generally do).
The immediate result on the river where I live was far, far less
litter, which was wadding up around reads and clogging flow. I
noticed this as I used to "tramp" the river banks picking up this
stuff and binning it, sometimes 3 rubbish bags a day.
Good call, Uganda...
