Electricity substation innit.

I work near there, and haven't heard a bang, so that's a good sign. No mushroom cloud spotted either.

One photograph appears to show a bomb disposal robot in the area.

I love how in the UK when someone gets shot we're all "OMG OMG OMG OMG". Bomb disposal robot in the street, "meh".

So you would rather them do nothing if a possible threat is detected :confused:

Solnyshko · 2 Mar 2011 at 14:09

don't think anyone was saying that

DJMK4 · 2 Mar 2011 at 14:28

But what has shooting someone got to do with the OP?

Police closing down a major London street.

Did I say that? I'm in Northern Ireland, so I've seen my fair share of bomb disposal robots... I just find it funny that in the UK someone brandishing a pistol is more news worthy than seeing bomb disposal on the street. Even on the mainland. We're so used to it as opposed to gun crime. Whereas in somewhere like the states someone gets shot and it doesn't even make the papers but a bomb disposal robot wheeling about and they're all "OMG OMG OMG".
