Scared

London bomb explosions

Nearly everyone here is scared now, some more than others. My hands are shaking a little. Just spoke to my mum to let her know I'm OK.

Charles Clarke just made a statement to the press, nothing new at the moment. He urged people not to make any journeys unless absolutely necessary and expressed concern and regret at the reports of the terrible injuries some people have sustained.

Just received this e-mail from our HR director:

"As people are probably aware, there has been a series of explosions on public transport in London this morning, including at least one or two in the vicinity of the office. It is difficult to know what to do at this stage, but we are keeping the situation under very close review.

The best advice we can give staff right now is to stay in the office. We are advising staff who are on their way to work, not to try to get in.

We will keep you informed of any developments during the course of the day."
