On the thread about public information films WeShouldOpenABar mentioned a film and I went to find it on youtube.
One of the films that popped up in the side bar is about 'Bloody Friday'. This happened when I was a small child, and I know my mum stopped us watching the TV news after my brother was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up and gave the answer, "An IRA sniper".
Anyway I have heard about Bloody Sunday, have a vague recollection of seeing the priest with a white hanky on TV and I am probably aware of it more from the campaign for justice for those shot.
I'm just wondering how much else I missed / am not aware of. I remember some bombings being reported extensively such as the one at Omahg and Enniskillen, I know these were much later so I was older or an adult.
So how many of you dear mumsnetters have heard of this? And if you have are you outside NI?

AIBU to be shocked that I had never heard about 'Bloody Friday'?
