Hazards
I suppose one piece of good news for those people who are flooded in Bentley is that it's too hazardous for suicide/car bombers to drive in. I wonder who it was that picked up the car bomb in Cockspur Street. What amazing luck not to be blown up when moving it! The Westminster car removers are a vicious breed. They claim that as soon as their removal lorries have touched a car, they are on film so no amount of cajolery, tears, bribery or threats can change their mind as they'll lose their jobs. However, one can pay a £160 spot fine by credit card to be allowed to repark in a safe spot. I suppose the bombers had fled the scene/been distracted by the West End so didn't notice that the bomb was being towed away. Either that or the detonator was faulty. Anyway the towman must be thanking his lucky stars.

Er, 'a vicious breed', along with the paramedics and cops, to whom many of the people in that nightclub owe their lives. And anyone who parks in central london without paying gets no sympathy from me - by driving into the city they are encouraging the global warming which is responsible for the problems of those poor people in Bentley.
Na - it's just incompetence.Compared to the IRA these people are rubbish.
It was amazingly brave to remove the mobile phone, whoever it was. But all I read and hear is that he ran in the opposite direction with it: I may be daft but I would like to know where he ran to, how far away and what he did with it? At what point would it have been "made safe"? As you say, WW, some comfort for those affected by the floods.
