From Blighty Blog:

In the aftermath of the London bombings, with the call for western nations to be seen to stand together in the face of terrorism, the US army have told their staff to keep away because it’s “a ickle bit fwightning”. Today, in an effort to attract the American military back to the capital, Nellie Clarkson, a seventy-two year old office cleaner from Chingford, offered to hold their hand. As a consequence the US military have reluctantly retracted the advise, but they’ve told staff not to leave Mrs Clarkson’s side or talk to strange men offering them “candy”.

Classic.
