Re: Christmas Meet
Someone let off a banger in a crowd of people by a bus stop around Guy Fawes Night. There was literally a stampede.
I think it was partly mass hysteria, partly- a fear of guns, but the panic itself was more alarmnig than the bang.
Although saying that I was on the other side of the road and therefore able to view the event with intellectual indifference.
