Thanks to a madman who decided to pull a shotgun on police and sit in his car until hell freezes over my 20 minute, 20 kilometre, trip home took me exactly 120 minutes this afternoon/evening. 2 hours from Malvern to Newport – and it was only due to them opening a back route to the Westgate that I made it home in under 3 hours.
‘The Westgate Siege’ is still going, 6 hours after it began. One man has bought an entire city to it’s knees by sitting in a car, in a petrol station, with a gun that may or may not be loaded.
Madness.
When we saw it on the news we wondered if you would be affected and for how long – like you said madness. We were going to ring you but didn’t get around to it. I think it finished around 5 a.m. this morning.
I was trying to think if I knew anybody affected by it. Of course, you would have been.
In your position, I’d have left the car at work overnight… but of course, that means knowing about the problem before setting out.
