Six degrees of separation

Well, bank manager came in today for a chat (nice when they come to you) and was saying how someone he knows directly spent the night at hospital because her son was victim of an attack on a train related to these riots... Apparently a bunch of yoofs went along the whole train with baseball bats or some such.

Funny how things like this find a way of connecting with you somehow.

Given my usual interest in news, it was not until I read about the riots on the uknot mailing list today that I knew this was happening at all.
