[proactive]

I good 8 inches at it's longest point - almost hit the shed!

Boaster!

I've got a good few of those "cinders", if we want to build a commemorative "rockery".

My parents live in Oxford gardens and their back garden has pieces like this all over it

 

[Gramaisc]

Lots of brightly coloured overalls and two tankers currently pumping out from the brook as it goes under Astonsfields Road.

 

[Gramaisc]

Most of the debris is still there - and smelling nasty.

in the brook ? or at the site?

in the brook ? or at the site?

The site.

There doesn't look to me much progress in redeeming the situation.

The "chickenfeed" to soak up the oil is still scattered all over the road.

We were at the scrap yard earlier in the week & no-one looked like they were doing anything to clean it up....

It looks just like the pictures that I took last Sunday - apart from the diggers being absent now.

They've probably got to wait for the insurance people to investigate first, & being as they didn't have a licence for the oil the insurance won't be valid....

 

[Gramaisc]

Still no obvious activity at the site.

Some big pieces of cladding flailing round in the wind today.

And the smell continues detectable all the way to Beaconside.

Is it a chemical smell?

"Burnt plastic",

Chemistry

Chemicals and Elements - An introduction


A chemical is a bond of two or more elements, much like a family

Hence - The Chemical Brothers

One wears after shave, also a chemical, and one doesn't.

Homework

Which Chemical Brother ( or Chemical ) can you smell?

Explain your answer and show workings out including where chemical was dabbed or rubbed

 

[proactive]

The full stop, is a wonderful thing.

And one of them has escaped into the street - hopefully nobody was passing at the time.

There are more available.....

Vaseline would have been needed for even the slackest of movements

 

[Gramaisc]

Very little attention seems to have been paid to the aftermath since I last went past there, three weeks ago - I wonder how long it will be left like that?

The smell has at least subsided a bit.

8 months 3 days 4 hours

It's a guess

But so far the best/only prediction
