Of all the days to pick, that was the first one in at least 20 years when my first action on waking was NOT to switch on R4.
I knew nothing about it until my mate arrived at 2 o'clock. We had a load of deliveries scheduled, and I was in the workshop preparing for them and getting the van ready. He asked what I thought of the attacks, I replied "what attacks?" He said something about a plane in new york, and we cracked on with the days work. It wasnt until I got home at around 7pm that I realised the enormity of it.
