Praying it's some kind of false alarm.

Would that include persons walking around covered from head to toe in black clothes?

They look suspicious to me.

If you mean a burqa, AOG, say so. Why does that look suspicious to you?

[Baldric]

Bit of a generalisation there AOG

No hc, he means Hallowe'en witches and warlocks - and as for yellow bears with eye-patches - say no more.

Hope everyone is safe and security has acted very promptly, well done to them.


Anotheoldgit - It means 'anyone acting suspiciously'.

Anyone walking around with their face covered is acting suspiciously.

[ummmm]

Even in the winter?

I can't see any reports of anybody dressed in a burqa being arrested at Gatwick today.

The last time I was personally given a handsheet of what to watch out for in my place of employment , there were a few examples of suspicious behaviour to be aware of - might that same handsheet today include headwear?

I don't know, maybe.
