Camden Lock Market is on Fire... Sat, 09 February 2008 22:13 Go to next message

Camden Lock Market on fire... on the news a moment ago...

Fire has been out of control for more than three hours now.


I hope that places like FairyGothMother, and so on, are OK.


The news hasn't made it very clear which part(s) of the market are affected.


Mind you, last time I was in that area, the arches (at one end) had been cleared and partly demolished.

Uhh, it may be Camden Canal Market... rather than The Lock, and Stables.

I stayed near Camden Market last year in the summer and we stayed at the Marriott overlooking the canal.

The market area itself is amazing! Lots of gothic clothing and food stalls. The other half picked up a couple of weird and wonderful ties for work!

Yes, very sorry to hear of your Camden fire. Sad

Btw .... Hiya Jeff'em —— Smile

Have you been watching the space shuttle pass over Perth and your southwestern Oz, these last four days? It seems to pass over Perth, and your general area several times each day. Have you seen it at night?

We have a TV channel called 'NASA TV', over here in the states, and it's basically a live feed each day, for approx. 8-10 hours per day. They switch back & forth from the space station and shuttle live camera's — to our 'Houston Control' room, and the big world map (on the big wall) — so it's pretty interesting to see how fast it's circling our planet; it's planned trajectory path, and where it's about to currently pass overhead.

... just wondering if you've been checking it out with a telescope or binoc's, these last four nights.

Jeff —— You might check your local TV listings; you might have some (space station/shuttle) live coverage, as well. Then, you'd be able to see when it's about to pass over you; again, the shuttles' been over, or near your location, several times each day, since its launch last Thursday.

You can find the 'space station/shuttle' live position, 24/7, at: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html
... plus, you can view/watch 'Nasa TV' via this website, too.

.... it's passing over your southwestern coastline ... RIGHT NOW !!! Smile [ 00:04 GMT ]

... they just said, "that the shuttle is just now, passing almost diretly over the city of ('Abiladen'?)", or some similar sounding city in 'South Australia'.

.... Holy Cow! ... it looks pretty dry down there, in your down-under, this time of year! Cool

I thought Camden Market was in London........ Confused

Did this thread get lost by using Google Maps like I do? Laughing
