I looked arround for the tense atmosphere at Kings X but apart from a few more pollis than usual and non stop security announcements all seemed much as before nor was the wife stopped and her large bag searched despite answering. the description of the token white granny who must be occasionally stopped so as to avoid accusations of racism Mind you we have yet to venture on the Tube-of that later if we continude t0 be spared.
