Amazing that this awful thing has been there all this time without causing major impact.











Home Park I'm talking about.

Thousands of janners forced to seek refugee in sports halls and community centers. Many of them have been introduced to frightening new concepts against their will, such as showers and vegetables.

Sadly I have to report that if it all goes bang I won't be able to make Saturday's game unless I'm lucky and the blast carries me 40 mileish E !

Don't think they've decided whether to move it or detonate in situ as yet. So isn't he being a bit previous here?

Today's photo of excavations made by Army EOD (same unit that exploded the Exe Uni bomb) showing how difficult it is to get screening in to lessen damage to surrounding terraced houses - looks like they are X raying it.
I understand it is half the size of the Exe Uni one but housing is a lot closer.

Word on the street is that trying to move it is not an option as whichever route it takes will mean evacuation along populated routes - they already have loads of sandbags on-site.
