Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Yes, because we all live in London...

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

That's a bit churlish, he was only expressing his concern.

What can you expect from a provincial though... ;)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Yawn.....

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

and i live in England which is just outside of London :rolleyes:

I think Dude was referring to any members that may live in the vicinity of the fire

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Liar, you live in Wales.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Go look up the word Sarcasm :rolleyes:

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

You first :rolleyes:

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

lol. that was brilliant!!

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

It looks like this thread should be in the kindergarden section :)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

10's of thousands in the North had no electricity because of the snow, where's the concern for that?

Or perhaps because it didn't happen in the butthole of the country no one cares?

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

OH WOW, they were all without power for 1 hour and 10 minutes... OMG...how did they survive!!!! I also hope that the fire didn't cause global warming within East London otherwise they'll have to postpone the Olympics until the next ice age!!

Sorry but total non-event :rolleyes: or is it a case of the colonies still thinking that London is the same as in 1666 ??

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

We in the colonies are fully aware that Heathrow didn't get a third terminal until later than that;) There's probably been other changes. I'm not sure if you can still buy a hotel in Mayfair for £200

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

is it just me or are all the mods in this thread acting childish ...

Anyway hope everyones ok.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

This thread is a little pointless, IMO. The power cut had no impact on most of the country. It didn't even have any impact on most of London.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

It's a complete non-story. This sort of thing happens to more people around the UK and it doesn't make anywhere near the front page of the nationals. It's like the media thinks that if it happens to London, it's somehow more newsworthy.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

The fire added to it

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

I have been a Londoner for 60 years, and l am totally mystified that there has not been another great fire of London, with all the crap you see on the London streets and back alleys from shop's.

For many years l delivered to the many shops of London, and the rubbish that you saw piling up in the alleys and fronts is beyond me.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Probably something to with the fact the buildings are made of brick,stone and concrete nowadays ,not wood ;)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

I see no moderating posts as they would be in bold so they are posting here as forum members offering an opinion on a non event that was reported simply because it happened in our countries capital city, similar issues have occurred elsewhere but are only reported locally.;)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

You done some jobs Arthur :LOL:

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

I have Sirius, And l can remember everyone of them, the longest one was 12 years, and the shortest one was twenty minutes.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Rent boy?

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

No that was five minutes :D

Im sorry Kymmy,I guess i was just very concerned.....

Concerned people might have gotton hurt and concerned people had NO POWER :(

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

No problem at all it was a serious fire but all seems fine down there now, as I said above other similar incidents around the country are usually not reported in the media due to them being outside of London.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Don't worry about it ,a very small number of people where without power for a very short amount of time in a very small area of london .Of course if the same outage had happened anywhere else in the UK it would have took about 3 days to fix ;)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Yes well some of us know that matey so don't apologise for being concerned enough to post a sincere and well intentioned message. :tu:

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

That's because we have a far more efficient fire service than we had back then, and not so many timber framed buildings.

On a serious note, if you see what you believe is a fire risk (especially if it could block an escape route), then report it to the fire service. And they will act on it very quickly.

Thank you for your kind words my friend :)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

And yes it probably could happen again. Scrap yard fires are actually quite common, due to the nature of what they do. So unless the electricity company reroute the cables, then there is a good chance that it will happen again.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

I'm more concerned about the high risk of brush fires this year with the drought conditions down here in the south.We are surrounded by MOD heathland here and it will burn very well being tinder dry.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Yes, if my name was Basil, I'd be very worried.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

:D Boom Boom! :)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Don't worry, I'm sure the raid will be back in time for summer, as usual.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
 

Excuse me if I can't laugh.The last time we had brush fires locally it was a miserable experience because it came within metres of local homes and those of us a half mile away were choking with the smoke..:(
