The answer: Tea

...and then something comes along to remind me that really, most people don't suck; it's just the dregs usually get so much more press. From BBC news reporter Helen Bart, walking along Euston Road at 1700 BST:

"There are now many people out walking and catching their trains home. A couple of hours ago this road was completely cordoned off and you could have heard a pin drop.

I spoke to a nurse earlier from the University College hospital who said everyone has been pulling together and that there was a very calm atmosphere as staff got on with their work.

Trying to get to work this morning I found myself at a pub in Kings Cross where the landlady was giving out free cups of tea and people were buying drinks; doing anything they could.

Everyone was trying to help each other out.

I'm a Londoner born and bred but I've never seen anything like this - it was fantastic to see everyone pulling together."

There's also a slightly less British "stiff upper lip" response (but very British nonetheless) to the attacks here.

You go, London. Good for you.

Additional note: We're at Ernie.

Tea. Yeah. It's like the people walking home. What can you do? Not much, but whatever that little bit is that you can do, you just do it.

That was a great letter!

You go London!

I have a coworker who is over there (England) visiting her family. I hope there were not in London and that they are all ok.
