Any thread about any old Tom Dick or Harry dying here usually generates about 3 pages of "ynwa" "rip". If a national tragedy like this doesn’t merit a pause for thought and bit of respect then God help us.

(and given the repeated gripes about lack of respect for Hillsborough etc posted on here the cynicism and lack of respect is all the more surprising).
That I agree with. Stuart alluded to it being in London making it less important to him. That's his right. I have to say that if I didn't work where it happened, I wouldn't be quite as grief stricken as I am today, but I totally agree with the Hillsborough point, as well as the point about using YNWA RIP at the drop of a hat..
