And the moral is: don't run away from the police onto a tube train
while wearing a winter coat on a summer's day in the middle of a
terrorist suicide bombing campaign on the tube.


It was around 15C and cloudy, it was hardly a summer's day... Lots of
people ran from the police there - the police were shouting "get down"
"get out" etc. As a completely innocent tourist, what would you have
done if some armed police had come running through the tube station
shouting that?

Why would you assume it was you they were after?

Jim.
