Thank you - very interesting. I hadn't heard about the Brighton/Bugger Bognor ones, but I suppose that's because there wasn't much damage. I am surprised that they hired the bikes (it seems) which meant they would have had to come face to face with someone in town instead of just buying old ones at a market/from the paper etc.

It's not deflection at all. It's completely obvious that if a bike can carry groceries it can also carry a small bomb. I was just curious about the attacks in Russia and Ireland (as it turns out, England) because I hadn't heard of them before - is that OK with you, dad?
