Who decides how long to be silent for ?

Madrid - 5 minutes, Tsunami 3 minutes, 9/11 got 3 minutes in the UK whereas the London bombings only got two minutes.

This is soon going to catch up with us. You won’t be able to get to work for stoppages and silences.

Terrorists will set off a bomb and we’ll call a silence so quickly, the bombers will waltz around thousands of static figures to make good their escape.

Maybe we’ll eventually be rooted to the spot, a nation of garden gnomes scattered all over the metropolis, scared shitless to say anything, hoping the gas from last night’s curry can be expelled without incident as all the silences run into each other.

And when the UK is renamed Land Of The Mutes, we’ll decide that we should show respect by having a minute’s noise for catastrophes.
Eventually these will be increased as the silences were, the frequency will increase and we’ll be back to normal.
Then the cycle will start all over again.
