  1. Did manage to get back to sleep for a couple of hours after the siren stopped. Now time to get up and start marking exam scripts (groan)...
  2. Thanks to all who replied with details of fire, btw. Can you all hear the siren too or are you just insomniac twitterers?
  3. The fire brigade is at the scene, everyone near the factory must know it's on fire. Do we really still need the bloody siren?
  4. According to ITV news web site, it's a large factory fire. At least it's not a terrorist attack. I wonder why they can't now turn it off?
  5. Siren is still going. I can now hear helicopter. I doubt this is just a drill...
  6. Anyone know what's going on?
  7. Worryingly, a very loud siren has been going for ages accompanied by the sound of lots of emergency vehicles in or near Greenwich.
  8. @Samantha_Stein Oh Gawd, not a @chriscfrench @hayleystevens joke!
  9. @S_D_Williams @Samantha_Stein Phew!
  10. @Samantha_Stein @Ultim8Fury Happy now? ;-)
  11. @Samantha_Stein @Ultim8Fury Sorry, sorry... I've been busy...
  12. @Samantha_Stein @kyliesturgess Had a fun (but tiring) morning doing telly stuff - now need wine...
  13. @brunovdc @samantha_stein @kyliesturgess @chrismooney_ @rebeccawatson Thanks Bruno! It was a great conference - so thanks to the organisers!
