    ...from London and it's environs?

    Kinda smoky?

    Do you believe it's accidental?

    We've had a number of mobile tankers go all firey lately; more than is usual, I think.

    Is someone practicing?

    Opinions?

    From what I gather....Guillaume is more likely to see the smoke as it is heading his way....

    It is amazing that no-one has been killed. If the explosion had occured on a weekday or even later on the Sunday the death toll would probably have been horrific.

    I used to take the rat-run past that place almost every week when the motorway was heavily congested, so I got to know the area fairly well.

    I understand HP are having one or two problems, their main UK offices are directly opposite one side of the fuel depot. I believe some of their major customers are already suffering the side effects.

    Edit: btw, the view has almost certainly improved.

    On Sunday I went up to Epsom Downs in the afternoon and you could clearly see the smoke from there.

    Encountered quite a few businesses the last couple of days who have been fux0red by the blaze what with warehouses being involved or where there computer servers are based

    I think it was accident judging by what has come out today, there may have been a strict safety code but it seems like it was regularly flouted with no consequence ....... till Sunday that is
