Its a shame the smoke cloud isn't heading for Birmingham - it would have improved the air quality.

Or close by, then that area would be known as the Black Country!

My flatmate, a firefighter, was on the lead vehicle at this incident. Said he'd never seen anything like it, and judging by the photos, I'd agree! Apparently John Prescott was running around in the area too - now he has to apologise to Belgium and the like for polluting their air...

Drove past the site on the M1 today, still loads of flames n' smoke everywhere. The surrounding industrial estate is a mess!

Its a name given to people who support teams not local to them. Many years ago, someone at work started calling one of the glory hunters (Manchester United supporter) a pretend Manc. It kinda of ballooned from there...

Ah, gotcha. I should've known it'd be a football reference, they usually go straight over my head....

I'm a 'real' pretend scouser (as you well know).
