Considering it's the eve of Remembrance Sunday, hope all the elderly folk are suffering from shell shock. Agree with Loripo, sounds like the Blitz and I can't imagine how terrifying it would have been to live through that.
Surely you mean that you hope that they are not suffering from shell shock
What was that military term - "shock and awe" - if that's worse than the noise over London right now it must be absolutely terrifying.
