Where were you 29 years ago this weekend?

[classic33]

Me, mainly watching my job go up in smoke, from this time onwards.

I like that last paragraph where the hairdresser had to abandon a perm due to the fire.

Reminded of this earlier this week when asked to give a date for it.

Stressed out at work ... I started in autumn 1986, and by early 1987 I was already close to the edge that I finally fell over in 2003!

That mill fire looked horrid, but spectacular.

 

[Fnaar]

I was visiting my mate in Rabat

About 18 still at work, in the building, when it was started.

1987? Crikey no idea. Maybe out on my bike? That's often a good guess.

I am sorry to hear that.
My wife and I were living in a different house in Chippenham getting things ready for Easter for our 2 youngsters, blissfully unaware that by the end of the next month both of her parents would die within a week of one another. 1988 was a better year.

 

[Globalti]

I was working in France, feeling depressed, lonely and frustrated.

 

[Toshiba Boy]

Had got married (the first time) 28 days previously.

 

[Glenn]

I must of been detached out of the country with a Nimrod, as I have no recollection of this fire.

 

[Jaykun85]

No idea. I was only 1 at the time .

 

[palinurus]

Probably at home between terms at Portsmouth Poly.

As fires go, this was only small. Overshadowed by events earlier in the month.
