Just out of interest, how are you finding the mood up there? I think I'm surprised at how quickly things seemed to have calmed down. A couple of residents I spoke to were expecting more flashpoints but they haven't come (as of yet). Is any anger directed more towards the rioters or the police or are people just trying to put it all behind them now and move on?
