Our company had been taken over by a large American retailer the previous year,so we were always in the swing of things American and America always seemed a lot closer.It was on our breakfast break that one of my colleagues called me over to the tv and kept on pointing at the screen , but for the life of me I just could not work out what he was seeing , yes it was a small tv but that’s all I saw was smoke and in the background an American voice.I phoned my mum at home and asked her what was going on and as I looked out the window she explained what was happening , I didn’t know what to think,was the war going to start? . Strange though how I forgot about the rest of the day then went home and watched the news on tv for 10 hrs straight .I can remember looking at the tv in work and seeing smoke and that day will live with me forever
