I didn't and I don't know anyone who did.
Yet there are calls for this to be remembered every year with the same reverence usually reserved for 'national disasters' or the casualties of wars fought for our country.
Of course this was a dreadful event and the loss of life was appallingly high for a peace time incident, those who were close to it will always remember but does that mean everyone needs reminding?
I think the whole affair has been milked until it's dry now, a year on and it's had it's day, move on like we've always done in the past, personally I'm sick of hearing about it now.
Yeah I did, life carried on around me though but that's what happens when you listen to LBC. It's a year on and still families directly affected are not housed properly and that's bad.
However, it's not had a huge impact on the rest of the country other than affirm the affect of Thatcher's 'bonfire on regulation' (pun not intended). You're not going to get a minutes silence every year and it will probably be observed by those directly concerned in prayer vigils and small meetings in years to come.
Let them get on with it.
