  1. This will run and run and the fridge manufacturer (Hotpoint) will not shoulder the largeest proportion of blame, if any. According to buliding safety experts a fire in a high rise unit (flat) should, in theory, remain self contained. When this one didn't it travelled alarmingly fast because of problems (as yet not fully determind) with the cladding. Police have said late today that there are likely to be criminal charges and possibly leading to manslaughter regarding the supply of incorrect cladding instead of that specified in building plans. Even Premier Inn have been affected at 2 properties I beleive, and they are pursuing this with the contractor. So, it does rather look like that some very senior people in some large businesses could be experiencing jail time. As far as I can tell the Fridge/Freezer ( and who knows how it was installed ) caused the original fire but the death toll was caused it seems by shockingly bad building practices. There is also of course, the question regarding building regulations and whether if even the correct cladding is up to the job.

  3. Thought you said it was standard? Nice z badge
  4. Looks like a power supply or charger for non standard equipment since removed.
  5. It's quite normal, condensation from the aircon, nothing to worry about.
  6. All a bit of a shambles all in all but not surprised one bit tbh, the next few days and months are going to be very "interesting" to say the least. The only good thing i can see was that the turnout of youngsters was greatly increased, there are a lot of angry people out there and it seems they've decided to get involved.
  7. And the delightful Mrs Sturgeon has been sent packing too.
  8. Couldn't agree more Paul. I was in the High Street a couple of days ago and noticed a very old chap with a walking stick and a terrible stoop trying to cross a side road, over half a dozen people doing the same thing and completely ignored the guy. I was crossing from the opposite direction and stopped to ask him if he needed some help. He said thank you sir, Iwas just going to chance it!!! Feck me I should have been calling him sir, anyway, I walked into the traffic queue and gesticulated for the next car to wait, went back for the old gentleman and he took my arm and we wobbled across, he was so thankful, got a thumbs up from the people in the car that I had stopped too. Felt bloody marvelous tbh.
  9. As you say, that'll be interesting. ^

  11. Well said Al, there is a certain atmosphere about this place from time time of late that makes it not so enjoyable to visit as it once was.
