No every word is true, my mate (well kid I knew from school) was shot on patrol in the 80's, the bomb went off in Kensington/Earls Ct, I think it was INLA rather than the Provos, it didnt kill anyone but scared the ####e out of us and blew out windows all over the Gloucester Rd, I doubt anyone my age that went up west to shop on Oxford St hasn't been evacuated form Debenhams or Harrods or Lilywhites, the Christmas bombing campaigns of the 70's were very widespread, the bombs themselves mostly small and performative although it is weird to be waiting in a long line to get onto the escalator knowing that you might be about to get blown up
