Feel free! I object to the demand for 2 minutes, which seems to have
emerged since 9/11, and to come out and make a big hoo ha about it.

It has always been traditional and respectful to give one minute's
silence, which I would happily observe, in my own way, in my own home.
Being told how I should react makes me want to do the exact opposite
TBH, so don't be surprised if I mourn the tragic waste of life with a
loud blast of Soukous music!
