I had just collected 'NME' from the newsagent that reserved it for me each week and had been lazily staring at a display of the new 'designer' stretch jeans in the windows of Gloria Vandebilt's shop. All had been calm on the city's main shopping street. Then suddenly it was chaos. People ran in all directions as if their lives depended upon it ... which they did. Men, women and children screamed as they fled down side streets, their shopping bags flying behind them like parachutes. I was in amongst them, running at full pelt until I thought I was far enough away from the suspect device. How would I know? I didn't. Did I hear an explosion? No. Was it really a bomb? I never knew.
