i notice the site has not got any rememberance banner up though like usual - when it comes to any uk holiday/memorial or that......

Don't really think thats appropriate on a day like today. I cannot think of any such images that could be used sensitively.

on my forum, i have a very simple banner

(i did have it in the image brackets but it stretched the page)

things can be done sensitivly, others, well, can be not so.

Even the US flag would have been apropiate imo

today is one very sad day, 5 years, and it seems like yesterday. lets hope, this time, next year, we have bin laden.....

Are you sure? I'd just come in from the playgroup run when it happened and that finished at 12 noon.

The 16-acre trade center site in lower Manhattan fell quiet at 8:46 a.m., five years after American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower, and 9:03 a.m., when United Flight 175 slammed into the south tower.

We followed the official new york 12.46 gmt time (which is 1.46 here at the moment) thats why the minute silence. It was a very sad day five years ago and I'm sure we all remember it vividly from the images. I was on holiday but I have friends and family who were in New York and were effected, though none of them killed thankfully.

As for the silence for Iraq. If there is a UK wise recognised silence, as the one today is, then this site will follow it. On this issue it is my intent to be lead not to lead.

you mean affected :rotfl:
