I just noticed something on a bus that struck me as unusual—referring to it as 7/7 feels really strange. Is anyone else feeling the same way?
Just saw this on a Bus and calling it 7/7 seemed very odd to me. Am I alone in this?

You’re definitely not alone in finding it odd. The reference to “7/7” can have strong associations, particularly in the context of the London bombings in 2005. It might be jarring for people to see it used in a different context, especially if it feels like it trivializes or overlooks the significance of that date. It’s understandable to feel uncomfortable about messaging that brings up such heavy historical events in a casual manner. What did the ad or message relate to?
