Quotes (some of my favorites!) from Londoners in response to yesterday's attacks:

"It's hard to panic the British. They've dealt with the Blitz, the IRA, the Silurians, the Zarbi, the Daleks, the Cybermen..." - annlarimer
"When the news reporter said 'Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing out blankets and cups of tea' I just smiled. It's like yes. That's Britain for you. Tea solves everything. You're a bit cold? Tea. Your boyfriend has just left you? Tea. You've just been told you've got cancer? Tea. Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt? TEA DAMMIT! And if it's really serious, they may bring out the coffee. The Americans have their alert raised to red, we break out the coffee. That's for situations more serious than this of course. Like another England penalty shoot-out." - jslayeruk

"Dude, the IRA's gonna be irked...and the last thing you do is piss off the Irish. There's got to be like terrorism rules 101. Never mess in the other guy's backyard." - medie
"I can feel my Britishness getting smugger and smugger every time I come online!" - lizzyrose89
