According to Google Earth, it is Allied Hygene in Centurion Way

I concur. Even the curtainsider in the loading area on the middle BBC site pic looks to be the same one as in this google earth pic…


Look at all that paper lying about… A ■■■ end could have started it! :open_mouth:

inside that warehouse its stacked out with paper towels, bog rolls, adult nappies ect looks like a slight change of name tho same yellow gates don’t suppose all those cleaning chemicals helped put it out tho

wishful thinking :grimacing:

Sodium hypochorite solution mixed with Hydrogen peroxide (both possibly present on-site bleaching agents) makes Oxygen gas - talk about “feeding the flames”!
The containers are only plastic looking after all, so I would imagine they’d melt under the intense radiated heat from a large fire.

Ink comes in similar containers I believe… I don’t think that’s flammable though.

What is there to like?

Was there yesterday. Nowhere to put any stock, so I couldn’t have a bay.

Sit in your cab, give us your mobile number etc etc etc

Let my tacho clear while I sat there for 45, popped into use the loo, and noticed someone had ran a highlighter through the line with my number on it.

“Could have sworn I rang you drive”

Twunts

90 mins to tip 8 Euros (including truck finding time) loads of trucks there, just no keys for them. And the keys she had, had no trucks.

Still better than Lutterworth though.

An “hour and a half to take 8 euros off you” over here still sounds better than “forever and a half to take 8 euros off you” in France… :open_mouth:


Meanwhile, this fire is apparently now being treated as “Arson”…

You leave Lidl, Belvedere alone. Thanks to them I never, ever have to drive within the M25 :laughing: :laughing: except for the occasional stock transfer to …Belvedere :cry: :cry:

Beledere is enough inside the M25 to be the full pain though. :smiley:

How much street cred does a typical arsonist get from firing a load of paper?

I thought all the social uplift came from torching schools? :smiling_imp:
