Ok so I know that this seems like a pretty flippant question, in the light of the circumstances, but what should the london bombings be known as? Some of the descriptions I have seen so far are: London Attacks (BBC News), London Terror (CNN), Attack On London (Guardian), London Bombs (Times)
I can't find a tagline from Fox News - very unusual. Can anybody furnish me with one please? Is it something like "London Terror Bomb Blasts - Run Screaming Then Invade Iran"?
So what is it to be called? 7/7 seems a little too much like 9/11. And let's face it with so many people killed in that one they do have more claim over the month/day naming convention than we do. It's all in the numbers. Having said that, the date usage is restricted for us anyway. Because of the day and month being the same number we can do 7/7 or 7/7, see? They can do 9/11 or 11/9 or 7/11 or Store24.
Incidentally is 9/11 copyrighted?
Can we do 7/7? 77.com I am all up for www.7th7th.com but that smacks a little too much of Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Answers on a postcard please.
