The one thing that i will never forget was walking home after we were dismissed. Normally there would have been loads of people in the streets. It was totally empty. All inside glued to the tv. It was a very eerie feeling walking home
Exactly the same recollection. Dismissed early, I recall walking from the bus stop to my house with my head down.
