I was not pleased when I learned that the IRA had taken its terror campaign direct into the route Rebekah and I used to get to the clinic at Guys Hospital. Sadly at this time the terror campaign and killings of the Irish Republican Army were all too common.
On
Saturday 23rd
April 1993 the IRA exploded a huge bomb on Bishopsgate in the heart
of The City Of London.
I
was going to have problems getting to Guys Hospital the following
week and for the foreseeable future.
Fortunately
the police set up a highly efficient diversion around the crater in
the road. It was easy to follow and really did not add any time or
inconvenience to the journey.
For
as long as I continued to take Rebekah to Guys Hospital there were
police check points as we entered the financial district in The City
Of London. A man and a small child in a car did not arouse suspicion
among the armed guards, we were always waved through.
