I have no intention of apologising Old Fat One, I have nothing to apologise for. I didn't dispute that Concorde was grounded eventually, I disputed your assertion that it was grounded IMMEDIATELY, it wasn't. BA kept on flying their Concordes for a couple of weeks. It was only grounded after relevant facts came to light early in the investigation.
Amusingly, the report you linked to makes it perfectly clear that BA kept flying them after the crash, so they can't have been grounded.
So despite what you say, the grounding of an entire aircraft type the day after the crash is a highly unusual step.
