Hi Tom. Can you check your registered email address, as I just had a message returned for you. Anyway, I wanted to know how close you are to the 'largest peace-time fire in Europe since the second world war'?

The police cordon runs outside my house :), I am woke up, gazed out the window and discovered that I was in fact living just outside Mount Doom. My office was also next door, so got gutted, I had a few days off, sitting in the local sipping beer as toxic smoke enveloped my GF and I.

I then got relocated to Epsom and have been seriously abusing the corporate expenses by getting ridiculously drunk every night, and then because our mainframes were immolated (thank god I wasn't working early! - as if that would ever happen...) I can't work during the day so have been mainly sleeping at my desk (yet still fully alert) in preparation for the night out.

So yeah - I am quite enjoying the fact that I live next door to the largest blaze in peace time europe ;). My windows were fine thanks to the fact that we had a house party so they were all open, my GF's windows were all blown in by the blast. When I heard it I thought someone had booted down my door! I woke up on my feet fists out, assumed I was dreaming and so just shrugged and went back to sleep obvious of the inferno outside.

The GF then had a major lecture at me for not ringing her to see if she was ok, as if I would?!? I thought it was a fabbo action/thriller dream! Women....

Oh and being English, I made the most of a bad thing and had photos of me next to the blaze :), will shove them in the gallery.

Big fuel depot fire, the biggest fire of any type in England since WWII.  You can probably google up about a million news stories.

Here's what the edge of the smoke plume looked like from where I am on the Sunday afternoon, 12 miles away.

Thanks, Stormy. I'm amazed that there were no fatalities.

Good to hear that you were safe Tom although your maners with regards to the GF seems somewhat lacking, ?ahem...:p :D :;):

Yeah, I saw some satelite photos as well. Pretty far out! :O

Cheers! :)
