      Not here. I don't think I've ever heard anyone even make a 7/7 terror attack joke.

        It also hasn't been used the same way amerikkka exploited 9/11, at least not as visibly

        What's the difference between a cow and 9/11?

        You can't milk a cow for 20 years

          I mean absolutely. Which is a very British phenomenon I think. It's treated with far more stoic seriousness but also simultaneously considered much less important and more forgettable.
