LondonLax Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I had just turned 13 when the riots were on, I was in my first year at senior school. I'd probably think I was at the younger end of people who were well aware of it happening at the time. We discussed it at great length at school (in class) and I dont think they did that with the year below us who would all still have been at middle school at the time. It absolutely dominated the news for a week though. I was only just turned 10 a few days prior but I remember it very well. Being a stupid 10 year old I kept hoping the drama would keep going and going and was quite disappointed when it eventually fizzled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desire for a terrible calamity to get worse...like when a huge hurricane begins to die down when it gets closer to land... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
