I don't think you appeared "crass or prying." I suspect Mike was just saying that Snugs is from Britain, but that her father has a serious angina problem which, as far as we know, is not related to the bombing yesterday. They do not live near London.
I haven't had a chance to read the rest of the posts yet, but yours needed answering as soon as I saw it. It might be tomorrow before I get to the end of the Dose.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I felt just awful, and then didn't know what exactly to say.
