I have, as I tend to, spent the past week or so in London, celebrating a friends birthday. England commemorates "Remembrance Sunday". That is not to say that nothing happens on the 11th, but the major things, such as wreaths at the Cenotaph and similar is kept to Sunday nearest. And so, this morning at 11 I had the interesting experience of seeing pretty much ALL of a major international Airport just....stop. Nothing and no-one moved for two minutes and for a wonder, no phones went or or anything either. Nice, calm, respectful.

And I even managed to not drop my pants, waiting to pass through security.
