nikki-red Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Was anyone else disgusted with the supposed two minutes silence in meadowhall this morning? I work there and there were announcements every ten minutes or so building up to it, however, when it got to 11o'clock hardly anybody stopped talking, let alone stopped walking to pay their respects. I am one of the lucky ones that hasnt lost anybody in any of our wars, but this made me so angry and upset I felt like crying. I couldnt believe the total lack of respect from so many people.

marcgoddard Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i wasnt there but if i had been i would definately have stopped and observed the silence, it disgusts me the lack of respect some people have for the people who died for this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 On the other hand, I was in Matallan just off the Parkway and absolutely everyone stopped shopping and stood silently. I was very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
