Progress road shut for most of the day (despite the echo calling it Prospect Road !)

Crikey, I did my year 11 work experience there.

I think that used to be MTE (if you go back far enough) which is where my mum used to work, assuming its the same building.

My daughter worked in the sales dept until 3 months ago.

am I right in thinking that PMS on the site next door to Jegs burnt down just before Xmas as well ?

saw them trying to put it out this morning. also drove past it on the way home and progress road still shut. heard on the radio that a man from grays had been arrested for arson.

Drove past at about 8 last night and the road was still shut then, must have been a fierce one.

I was in a cab on the way to the ground yesterday and the driver told me about it ... except he just said "an electrical place down Progress Road has gone up in flames" .. i work at MK and was more than a little concerned until i had it confirmed a couple of hours later it was the place over the road ... we all moan about our jobs at sometime or another but to lose a job in such a way must be awful :(

That is indeed unfortunate just before xmas.

I too hope that my place of work never burns down in the same way....:eek:

Doubt it, that brothel you work in was built to withstand anything:p

Arent the Essex brothels next door to all those swingers houses in Laindon? :eek:

Apparently the bloke they have arrested for it is a serial arsonist , only recently released from prison for torching somewhere else. They caught him outside Jegs, in his car, watching his latest piece of work.
