Ditto Griff and Zen. Said to Mum this afternoon that 30 years ago that would have sparked an exchange of bombs.
Said in front of my niece who was baffled - her only knowledge of Russians is that they own football clubs. Not ignorance (well, not really) on her part, just the way the world changes.
At 10 I was terrified of both the atom bomb and the IRA.
At 18 she isn't terrified of anything. Terrorists don't bomb Aylesbury or Milton Keynes (where her BF lives) so why worry?
