Somehow our airports are still full of people flying to Lanzarote so people have clearly got over their fears about terrorists at airports. Security has always been tight at airports and most of us have been taught to report suspicious packages or behaviour since the IRA.
Most of British worried about rain, floods and getting clean water, the terrorist attacks have passed people by.
We had a few more police on the streets, which bothered the kids playing truant from school more than anyone else.
Every event that was supposed to happen in London at that weekend of the car bombs, still went ahead, the Diana Concert, Wimbledon and Gay Pride and the following weekend the Tour De France started here, Live Earth took place and the Wimbledon Finals, the attacks have been extremely useless at bring the country to a hold. The rain was much more effective.
And Gordon Brown was so worried he rushed to meet Dubya, oh wait he did not, he waited a whole month before meeting him and then faced Bush's press with words Bush clearly could not understand and made no sign that he wanted to Bush's new best friend.
Read this BBC articles, for how the meeting of Bush and Blair is being reported in the UK.
