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

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!

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).
