Scary, scary times...

I'm getting really worried about going to and from work lately. Only last week on the way to Induction, a whole corner of Wood Green was cordoned off because of a double murder. A couple of days later, a man was shot outside Tesco in Enfield Town. Yesterday a shopkeeper was stabbed in Wood Green and now this stabbing spree through Haringey and Enfield. All the time is gets nearer and nearer to home.

Roads have been blocked off all day. Worried colleagues from all over are enquiring if everyone is okay and if anyone has seen anything other than road blocks. Meridian Way had the road into Tottenham from the North Circular cordoned off. Further along, two police cars and a large van were parked up between the two lanes of traffic, stopping people randomly as they came out of Tottenham. At the side of the road, next to the railway line, a team of people came out carrying large envelopes marked 'FORENSICS' on them (just like on TV!), and it was all rather worrying.

It made top headlines across the news bulletins and was front page news on the BBC website. It really doesn't help that Edmonton was trying to shed its violent image...
