I was 12 and in school, just started year 8, in my English lesson that day me and a mate (who is in the British army now) were talking about war and he goes 'It'd be cool if a war kicked off today' . Didn't hear anything about it in school, most of us had phones but they cost a bomb to run and you got them confiscated for using them so no way of knowing until we got home. Remember my dad saying some planes had flown into some skyscrapers but I didn't really care, I knew it was bad but didn't understand what it meant. Then by evening I sort of got the scale of it.

Absolutely mental though, remember being a bit scared WW3 was going to kick off. Anyone enjoy watching documentaries on it?
