Armistice Day In Asda

My local Asda was a quieter, gentler place for 2 minutes at 11AM today, Armistice Day. The clatter of trolleys fell silent. I was thinking about one of my grandfathers, who was gassed in World War 1. He worked on the Liverpool docks, but the combat injuries limited the work he could do and how much he could earn. He would've been working there during the Liverpool Blitz, when the family was bombed out of their house three times.
