After what they gave up for us being quiet for 2 minutes is the very least we can do.

My office is usually quite noisey. It was really weird hearing the office in silence no mobiles going off, no converstaions, no keyboards being tapped, no printers working.

Yes, 99% of us at ICAT (Cardiff Airport) did....however there were two ragheads who decided to talk through it despite EVERYONE looking at them....fucking disrespectful pricks

If we didnt respect their customs in their country we'd be the first to be called racists....fucking scum

Unfortunately no, cos I was driving and fitting all day so not really something I can do if I'm bang in the middle of the A10 or glueing up or lifting in a windscreen....

I shall do what I did last year tho - I shall have my two mins at 11pm instead... Least I can do, and I'll I spend one of those mins remembering my grandad (dads side) who died a little while back but was captain of HMS Belfast and served the Navy his whole life, including WWII..... RIP

i cant get my grandad to talk about it much, but he says about this bridge that we tried to take over, and we were getting shot in the sky when parachuting down. hardly any made it to the ground.

maybe THE worst decision we made.

(I think its covered in the film "a bridge too far")

speaking to him about it, he says remembering it is the worst thing we could do.
