  • Vegetarian haggis = Waitrose in the Food Centre.

    It's about £2 I think, and yummy!

    I work in building next to the site. And we use the service road by the side of the building, which is where our multi storey parking is.

    I went to lunch and came back and saw the devastation. Apparently 1 person has died. There is no way anyone from work here will be getting their cars back tonight.

    From where i am sitting i can see two heli ambulances and one left couple of mins ago air lifting someone...

    Awful.. those poor men.

    Hi,

    i work on silbury and can see the cranes, have a look at this it says three injured, no confirmed dead: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/4899750.stm

    I can't beleive it, it looks so awful. Our friend works on the site as a scaffolder - we have heard from him and he is ok and wasn't involved in the collapse.
