Rudely awoken this morning by the oil depot exploding, I live just under 2 miles from the site.

I took this about 1/2 mile from the site:

waht out for lumps of piping raining down. Saw this on CNN this morning. Is it terrorist related?

Nah, the plod reckon that it's just an accident. 3 of the 20 tanks blew, each holds about 3 million gallons of petrol [img]eek.gif[/img] Looks like they are going to let it burn itself out.

Bung a couple of spuds on it,.. I'll be there for dinner...

Just got back in after panic-buying marshmallows - Asda and Tesco had both sold out [img]wink.gif[/img]

Saw this whilst I was coming back from London.....Thought "what the hell has done that ?"

Was anyone killed ?

[Buttz]

Not yet,.. but they're thinking of throwing Gary Glitter on it to smother the flames.

Any bangers left?

[SJ_Skyline]

No, no bangers left, Fatty 2 Jags Prescott got there first [img]wink.gif[/img]

That would make an even bigger toxic cloud. It'd be worth it though...
