A Surreal Morning

We were just on the news.

Well, I say we. I was nowhere near it. A couple of colleagues were just shown on BBC News 24 standing on the street, outside our building. Why? There was a suspect package at the building next door to work. What with three letterbombs going off in three days, it was minutes before our neighbours were evacuated, police vans were everywhere and TV crews were camped on the street outside. The cafe over the road did a roaring trade.

Anyway, it turned out to be nothing, and everyone left as quickly as they arrived.

The bombs so far this week have included the people who do the congestion charging, a company that deal with parking fines, and, this morning, the DVLA in Swansea. Someone's got it in for everyone and everything connected with cars.

So the business next door, is what? What high-profile company feared they might be next? CIMA. The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.

I don't know what the package in question turned out to be. Perhaps a badly wrapped stapler.
