Hi Susan

I wouldn't bother if I were you. The factory is just about gone now so I think the burgers will be a bit cooked up. It's still burning - 26 hours later.

Hi Frederick

Yes,it was. Apparently there is now a smell of burgers everywhere in the Lowestoft area (not there myself at the moment). The fire is still alight but luckily nobody was hurt. It has now been blazing for nearly 24 hours.

Hi Bev. the fire you probably saw was the Wessex Foods factory at Lowestoft, produces frozen foods including Burgers, factory is nearly gutted and 150 workers could lose their jobs.

I must admit OH was impressed last night when we saw this smoke in the distance and I instantly told him where it was and what had happened. Normally we would just stand and stare and wonder.

Hi Patricia

My OH asked me once to find a music track that he had heard on the radio. All he knew was it was drumming at the beginning, a woman singing and she worked with fish in Wales.

AND I FOUND IT!!!

Amazing

Hi Beverley,
I love Google! I ask it anything and everything.

A friend of mine phoned to ask me how to fix her laptop (her screen was showing everything sideways). Whilst umming and arring I was able to 'google it' and tell her the answer withing seconds.

Hi Beverley,

Was it in Hampshire, only I saw a huge plume of smoke earlier when travelling along the M3.

We looked out of our window earlier to see a huge plume of smoke about 2 miles away. I googled our local news and discovered a factory is on fire. I can't believe how quickly it got on the internet.
