Is it just me, or has the amount of emergency services using their sirens
increased in the days since 7/7? Each and every time I set foot outside this
week, the air has been split by about three emergency vehicles sreaming
past. Hey! As I type this I can hear the shreik through the window!

There is an almost 100% certainty of going deaf whilst walking through
Shepherds Bush Common these days.
Is the hot weather causing emergencies, or are more people panicking and
ringing emergency services for whatever reason; or maybe there are the usual
number of bomb hoaxes rung through by cretins? I saw the police block off
Wood Lane (to the BBC) the other day. That's got hoax written all over it.

Or maybe I'm only noticing the racket now.
