Vulgarian Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Pff. I've lit farts that have created bigger fires than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Be difficult to get fire engines into that part of London I'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilligan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I've been in the restaurant to right of the white building that was on fire. I had a horrible hot chocolate, and something else (must of been a danish pastry). In the corner there was a woman at a table with a laptop and papers. Every so often a different woman would come in, go and talk to her for about 10 minutes. I deduced by the attractivness levels of these women that the woman with the laptop was a modelling agent.

Declan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The nearest fire station is in Chinatown so they have not far to go... Even so those roads are so narrow and cramped (or at least feel that way) and busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Declan is right, these streets are very narrow and always very busy. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/art...Soho/article.do Things like this don't really help the firefighters get through either: Ann Hunter, who works for a media buying agency in Great Newport Street, said: “The first we knew was when we saw a huge plume of thick black smoke. But then power went out all across Soho, and people starting coming out of pubs and restaurants onto the street to see what was going on.” http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE5693QY20090710 http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/07/10/london.fire/ http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...id=aEY8w.Dug9wc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
