    That was a good gesture, and a moving three minutes.

    I think just before the 3 minute silence I heard that Britons had donated 76 million, and that's without any cheque donations.

    If I hadn't made a donation this month, I would have done after watching that three minute silence.

    Very good gesture Martin :)

    The delay in my reply was because I was at the hospital this morning for my rheumatoid arthritis check and at the time of the 3min silence I was with the police as some nutter decided to go abit daft and started shouting abuse at me in the carpark and punching my drivers window, sort of lost it so to speak and I was in the right place but at the wrong time.
    I can tell you you I was terrified and had to phone the police, all sorted now but I didn't need that this morning.
    Sorry to have gone off topic, but was explaining how I spent the 3mins silence. :)
