Re: From the fire to the exodus

I learnt of the fire in deepest Middlesex on the 9 p.m. (wireless) news of the BBC on the day following the event. At that distance I did not expect to be further informed, although I felt sympathy for the kids whose education could have been so interrupted. The news I heard spoke only of damage to the "municipal" building and its clock.
