Maybe best to avoid the area if you can.

I cant open it from work.

What and where is it?

Fire in the petroleum refinery at Stanford Le Hope, area best avoided but no evacuation of anything near it yet.

Bloody hell, live very very near there!!! Can actually see it from the road leading to my village.

Anyone willing to offer a place to kip!?

Fire is out now apparently, thanks for the heads up anyway.

Another excuse to put unleaded up by a penny a litre i spose;)

That is exactly what was reported on the news last night!

Crap innit? On a national scale, how much %wise was affected by yesterdays fire?The slightest blip in supply and the stuff goes up again:crazy:

I no its bit off topic but my stepsons girlfriend works there in the offices apparently when it went kaboom they all dived under their desks thinking it was a bomb!:smiley: then the usual procedure…EVACUATE!!
