I was sat at my desk in our London office, Radio 1 was on with Mark & Lard hosting the afternoon programme, I remember one song finishing and then silence for about 10 seconds before another one started and then 3 or 4 songs back to back. Knew something was up but had no idea until the announcement.

Fast forward a few years and I had to persuade a police officer to allow me through a cordoned off road to get to the same office. He allowed me through but I had to give a mobile number and was told that if I was called I was to get out quickly. Transpired that there was a fifth London bomb but the suicide bomber bottled it and ran, dumping the bomb about 20 feet from my desk in the shrubbery just next to my office
