Breaking: Fire at Solihull

Just noticed a few tweets on Twitter mentioning a large smoke plume over Solihull coming from the LR plant Sad

Will post updates as I find more - do add too if you know more.

Oh dear! Surely not yet another good idea going up in smoke!
 A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Must have been a huge plume of smoke in Birmingham to be able to see it from London! Wow!
