CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Yup, don't see much sunlight this time of year, Socs. ;-((

Whats your excuse for being up so early on a Sunday then Al?

Big Al is most likely still on the graveyard shift so it's a normal nights work for him.

Just been on the phone to my nephew, he lives on 3.5 miles from the Buncefield Depot that went bang earlier. Quite a bang by all accounts. Watch the oil company and airline shares monday, be interesting to see what the effects are.

Hopefully casualties will be light.

Socs, just heard about Buncefield, I know it well and I know several people who work there, i hope they are OK.

Forthose interested, the Buncefield depot is just adjacent and north west of Junction 8 of the M1.

Hi! Just popped in for lunch. ;-)))

Apparently no fatalities at Buncefield, Spacie. Seems lucky by the look of things

Let's hope that grey muck in the sky gets blown out to sea and dumps
it's contents there - guy on the TV said the smoke was like standing next
to an stationary exhaust pipe with the engine constantly running - doesn't
sound too healthy to me!
:>(

Is it far from u,that fire.

Quite a distance Dave, I'm not far from Heathrow, but we heard it Sunday
morning low muffled deep boom noise, but as there was no activity here, no
sirens etc didn't take any notice and went back to sleep! it's this smoke that
bothers me, what goes up has to come down, simple fact of nature......

Loads of soot here but that may the turk next door


on his pipe again !


Oh well quick drink before dinner.

LOL Dave :>)

Afternoon all, good to hear no fatalities at Buncefield, I hear from inside the company that I work for that they do not expect this to affect supply to retail sites (garages) but there is concern about the Airports that they supply. There are other supply routes as well so I guess they will sort it out fairly soon.

Seems a few people round Hemel don't believe that judging by the queues at petrol stations round there shown on the news, it's a shame the first instinct is to panic and then grab what you might need isn't it?

I was amazed when they said no casualities, someone up there was looking out for them I suppose, would have been completely different had it been Monday AM.

Afternoon all, any danish left? would be nice with a pot of tea.
Emails still down with Telewest, That's four days now and they can't say when it will be repaired! great service.

The tooth is out. No tea for me I might dribble.

We must have a plastic curly bib somewhere Jeff :-)

Jeff its embarrasing that isnt it, especially when you cant even feel your dribbling, I once went and had a cup of coffee after some dentist work and it wasnt until I felt that my chest was wet that I realised I had dribbled a lot of it down my front ...

Yes, done that before Spaccie. Back for a filling tomorrow, so at least the dentists family will be having a good crimbo.

Good evening all, lots of comment about the fire and a few companies affected. NIS, one of mine has their HQ there and had 4 staff taken to hoss pistol. They are OK and the company has put their business continuity plan into operation.

Jeffmack
Hope your mouth heals up alright. Hmmm, that doesn't sound quite right, but you know what I mean

Morning all,
Back at an airport again, waiting to fly from Singapore to KL, free internet here. Just had the worse cup of coffee I have ever tasted, I managed about 2 sips. I think it was made with dog ends....
