Not the sort of thing you want to hear at any time of the day. :( :(

Hope there are few, if any, injuries. :y

I dont think there was anyone hurt  ;)

I've just driven past and what is a big surprise is there is no damage to the front of the building, not even the windows but the conservatory on the rear of the building is non existant anymore. This is obviously a small explosion but I felt it from 150 meters away and it shook the house, what must a car bomb feel like, I hope I never have to go through something like that :o :(

My wife used to live down the road from Hendon Police training centre and Miill Hill Army Barracks during the IRA bombings of the late 80's early 90's...

One quiet evening a explosion about a mile away blew her front door open...

A mate of mine was in the Tavern in the Town when the IRA bomb went off.

He survived, but has never ever talked about it.

'The practice's owner Claire Roberts said if the explosion had occurred before the clocks went back the building would have been occupied.


Very True.

...and of course the gas leak may well have been noticed and an explosion prevented?

Very often the case ime. The ones who have lots of war stories to tell, were usually nowhere near when things happened. :y
