National treasure engulfed

bugger.

there were some seriously rare things there.

Mind, it'll give the restoring types about 20 year's fun rebuilding 'em.

Not old buildings, mind, so I wonder they didn't have sprinkler systems and
the like.

 

Probably not required for a single storey building,
and everyone inside seems to have got out safely.

 

It's not single storey, the surface buildings have rooms on the first floor
and the structure actually goes down some way, two floors below ground that
I know of and possibly more.

 

As someone has already pointed out - the petrol tanks and sumps are
drained and I doubt there is any vapour left after all those years.
I don't see anyone trying to ban smoking while riding a bike with the
fag about a foot from the tank, or while driving a car (sitting
inside a bomb<?>).

Given a separate (fire-doored?) room even the dumbest of smokers
would recognise an ashtray and use it. The danger occurs when
smokers needs are not recognised causing these dumbos (who you will
never persuade to stop smoking) to rely on stamping out a fag-end in
an inapropriate place.

 

Cigarette smokers are idiotic, undisciplined drug addicts, and the
damage they inflict on society--worldwide--is simply incalculable.

I wish, with all my heart, that whenever smokers light up, they would
suffer an immediate, bloody coughing episode that would only stop when
the cigarette is extinguished. After repeated attempts to smoke, they
may get the picture. Even lower animals can learn through such repetition.

How many more treasures--and people--will be destroyed by smoking-?

I will now sit back and enjoy the flames from the addicts and advocates
of "smokers' rights."

Buzzy in Texas

 

BuZzY fascinated us all by saying...

Oh do **** off, old boy. You listen to too much typically hysterical US
govt propoganda.

 

, we could have fully protected those irreplaceable examples of

Hmmmmm.. Norton Jubilee.... BSA Starfire..... Triumph Tina.....
Velocette Valiant....

 

Since when have smokers had "needs"? What utter tosh. just because some
selfish tosser (if the reports are true) want a fix of his favourite drug
several dozen/hundred people have their lives put in danger and several
hundred irreplaceable motorcycles are destroyed. I hope they bang the
bastard up.

 

Well, all right! But there are, sorry, were, some very interesting and
novel solutions to engineering problems. There were. Honestly. Come on,
you do agree really. Don't you. You must, surely?...


Regards,

Simonm.

 

You are a bible thumper by any chance?

B*llocks, they're fine individuals who pay their own way and save the
country a fortune in pensions!

^^^^^
There's at least one idiotic Texan inflicting incalculable damage on society
Worldwide at the moment.

 

Couldn't be further from it. I'm an unapologetic Democrat athiest
heathen with every bad habit except tobacco. I'm big and ugly and I
don't walk straight Only excercise I get is pushing my BSA home.

No they won't .

If they are causing dangers, sack them, and get staff that don't smoke
end of problem. You woudn't accept that sort of behaviour from an
alcholic, you wound't make a plea for them to have somewhere safe for
them to drink...

 

I take it you're a big ugly and extremely fit person then #

Buzby

 

To begin with I was rather amused by the simplistic self justifying
argument that the ban on smoking caused the fire, rather than a stupid
individual. (Who in all honesty shouldn't be allowed out unaccompanied
when in possession of matches)

Then came buzzy.

I'm with Lozzo on this.....

 

not to mention the Vincent Black Prince. and the Hesketh. and that funny
closed-in thing, which pre-dated the BMW gadget by a number of years.

and among other things, a prototype 4-cylinder 1000cc triumph.

and some very old stuff.

I suppose it'll take some time to decide what's buggered beyond repair.

 

I assume you were, in effect.

 

I don't think it's evil. Stupid, maybe. And I have a strong preference for
smoke-free places meself, but you're right about people being allowed to go
to hell in their own way.

 

p'raps the whitehouse is a no smoking zone, and he's suffering withdrawal
symptoms?
