Scotland Yard investigating terrorist activity.

I hadn't noticed, I'd assumed it was just overcast!

Its not Canary Wharf, its the other side of the river. I think its somewhere over by Stratford.

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

It is live on BBC 24 which i have been watching for the last 5mins

Is this not where the Olympic Stadium is going to be?
Waterden Road, E15 is where Hackney Speedway used to be and I'm sure I read somewhere the old stadium land is being used as part of the Olympic complex.

Sky News have just found the London Fire Brigade website.......on the ball then!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Does anyone want me to do a Sky News style commentary of it?

Go one then....

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

Conflicting reports - one says it is on an industrial estate another reports that is at an old Bus Garage that is on the Olympic site. :(

 

[Cricko]

It is in an old Bus Station in a Warehouse on the Olympic site.


Rumour has it, Yorkshire Blue has been storing his old facial hair there for the past few months.

:p

Paris/Madrid 2012 anyone?

Could it be an insurance job?

Seb Coe seen running away from the scene?*

*if beaten in the dash to get away by Steve Cram, Seb (hands on hips) will claim a virus.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Sirens are blazing as the emergency services race to attend the scene. I've just seen an ambulance with its sirens on, head from the site of the fire in the direction of the Royal London. In the other direction police vans and fire engines have been rushing in that direction [what Sky won't say is that isn't anything new and that I've seen one fire engine go in the opposite direction without its lights on].

It is very dark at Canary Wharf.

Hope nothing toxic is going up.

Bound to be because of Global Warming...
