Hatbeard has just passed (or tried to pass) this area and it's still chaos and roads closed.

Thanks for the heads-up: I need to go that way later this evening so a detour via Trundley's Road might be in order just in case.

It was certainly very busy around 5:30, I was wondering what was going on. Though I've had a stinking hangover all day so it was a good excuse to pootle home slowly.

glad to be of assistance, though all credit to Hatbeard for alerting me

apparently, according to him in doors, it was a 4 car pile up. no idea what happened before they all got twisted up with each other....!

A Bermondsey lad I was working with tonight said it was a firearms incident - don't know about any shooting but a stopped car turned out to have lots of them on board.

By tomorrow it will have been a V2 exploding...
