    Default Got so close to getting my delft casting stuff...

    I had a meeting in Brum today so thought I'd pop in to the trade counter at Cookson's to pick up a few bits and pieces. A few minutes into the lady taking my order and getting the stuff together a man runs in and said to everyone - Do you know the roof of the building is on fire? We all looked rather confused, and myself and the other two customers were told to leave (fairplay really), and sure as hell the chimney above Cooksons was covered in flames!

    I hope the people at Cookson's were ok though - Fire service got there a few mins after I walked out. So just in case people placed orders today - I'm not sure they're going to be getting sent out today...
