No, what time was it? There was something going on, on the front lawn when I picked up from school at about 5:15.

I hadn't heard anything about it, I would have, if I had.

No one mentioned it or I would have

CraftyGin · 23/03/2022 19:57

Yes

Phos · 23/03/2022 19:58

Didn’t even know about it. Wouldn’t have gone out of my way to if I had.

Im2022 · 23/03/2022 20:00

No. It’s my birthday. Don’t want to remember 2 years of hell thanks!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 23/03/2022 20:01

I had no idea it was a thing.

So it was to commemorate lockdown?

Or the covid deaths?

Completely passed me by...

Wnkingawalrus · 23/03/2022 20:03

Nope. I was in the gym.

TinaYouFatLard · 23/03/2022 20:04

Why would I observe a silence to commemorate something which has destroyed and is still destroying countless lives?

MartinMartinMarti · 23/03/2022 20:05

Who declared a minutes silence? It can’t have been an official thing as Parliament didn’t observe it.

I’d not heard of it, and wouldn’t have done so if I had.

SexiestDogWalker · 23/03/2022 20:07

They kept that quiet.

Badum-tsssss!!

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 23/03/2022 20:09

Not consciously. I wasn't aware of it. I was following the Forstater v CGD tribunal hearing but I was very quiet and not ranting or anything.

HeddaGarbled · 23/03/2022 20:12

I didn’t know there was one and I read proper newspapers and everything.

Where did you hear about it?

Circumferences · 23/03/2022 20:13

No, wasn’t aware of it.

roarfeckingroarr · 23/03/2022 20:15

Why was there a silence? What's the point?

thenightsky · 23/03/2022 20:17

Never heard of it. Who's idea was it? Are you sure its not just some FB suggestion?

LondonQueen · 23/03/2022 20:18

I didn't know one was planned?

Georgeskitchen · 23/03/2022 20:19

No didn't even hear anything about it. The only silence I observe is remembrance sunday

RiverRats · 23/03/2022 20:21
