11 November 2005

It's only a couple of minutes

Today is Armistice Day. For the past eighty-odd years, people all over the world have held a two minute silence at 11:00am on 11 November, in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the various wars around the world.

So why is it, that every year, at exactly 11:00am on 11 November, someone has to ring me? It's only two minutes, once a year!

Why do people forget so easily?

I know what you mean Womble. In my office we had several people who were talking too loud to notice the tannoy, then a couple of phone calls and topped it off with the man coming to fill the coffee machine.
