I'm back.
I may enter this discussion at some point, but I just wanted to let you know I was okay.

Mum & I headed off to Cardiff first thing Tuesday morning, and didn't get back until last night. We were watching the footage on SkyTV while we were away, but I had no internet access.

On the coach on the way down we heard that there were rumours of trouble in Grangetown and in Splott (parts of Cardiff), but it must have been contained as we heard nothing more of it. There were definitely a lot of police cars zooming about on Tuesday though, making sure that trouble didn't get a chance to start.

Funnily enough, saw a photo in the paper when we were on the way home of a Welsh policeman deployed to London. How could we tell? He had his back to the camera and Heddlu printed on his hi-vis jacket. Heddlu is Welsh for police, although it transaltes more correctly into "keeper of the peace".
